Derry name side to face Tyrone

Derry manager Damien Cassidy has been forced to name a rejigged side for Sunday's clash with Tyrone at Casement Park tomorrow.

Suspensions coupled with a spate of injuries have left the Oak Leaf boss without some key players.

Defender Kevin McCloy is replaced by Sean Marty Lockhart, with the former All-Star one of three changes from the team which beat Monaghan.

Lockhart has been drafted into the team to do a man-marking job on Tyrone full-forward Stephen O'Neill.

The suspended Fergal Doherty and the injured James Kielt are the other players to lose out.

Eoghan Brown and St Mary's Banagher clubman Mark Lynch come into the side, with Lynch expected to slot in, in Kielt's position, but Barry McGoldrick and Joe Diver are named as the midfield pairing.

DERRY (Ulster SFC v Tyrone): B Gillis; K McGuckin, SM Lockhart, G O'Kane; C McKaigue, B McGuigan, SL McGoldrick; B McGoldrick, J Diver; E Brown, P Murphy, E Lynn; E Bradley, P Bradley, M Lynch.
