Derry take on Kerry this lunchtime in the second game of this season’s National Football League Division One campaign (throw-in 1.30pm).
The game has been switched to Killarney after the original venue in Tralee was declared unplayable during the week.
Oak Leaf manager, Brian McIver, goes into the game in confident mood after his side fought back to earn a draw against Tyrone in Celtic Park last week, a game in which Derry were trailing by seven points at one stage in the second half.
Derry face a tough task as a wounded Kerry will be determined to bounce back from last weekend’s one point defeat by 14-man Dublin.
The Derry team is: Thomas Mallon (An Lúb); Declan Brown (Baile Eachaidh), Chrissy McKaigue (Leacht Néill). Dermot McBride (Baile na Scrine); mGerard O’Kane (Gleann an Iolair), Mark Lynch (Beannchar) captain, Aidan McAlynn (An Lúb); Fergal Doherty (Baile Eachaidh), Niall Holly (Eoghan Rua); Sean Leo McGoldrick (Eoghan Rua), James Kielt (Cill Ria), Enda Lynn (Grainlocha); Kevin Johnston (Dún Geimhin), Emmett McGuckin (Machaire Fíolta), Ciaran McGoldrick (Eoghan Rua).
