Rory Gallagher looking for Derry to set off on extended Ulster run

Derry boss Rory Gallagher: A lot of the players haven’t won many Ulster championship matches and that at the end of the day is a huge sense of hurt on your pride and self-esteem

Having inherited a tired squad at the start of the year, Rory Gallagher says his reworked Derry panel is now stronger and better equipped to beat Armagh than it would have been in the summer.

Gallagher admits he found managing dual players for the first time in his career a challenge but now has the players he wants and has the Slaughtneil contingent fresh and ready to do themselves justice in an Ulster SFC campaign.
