Gavin McWilliams goal chance saved - run by Neil Forester after catching kick out


1 change in Derry - Mick O'Kane into goals for Ciaran O'Boyle




At the minute Derry are in pole position to qualify for semi-finals. Time will tell.  Cahair O'Kane our man on the calculator here.

Half time - Derry two ahead but looking the comfortable side.  Lynn a great link going forward.  Conor Kearns looking the part so far.  If Marty Clarke had his shooting boots this could be level.




It'll be interesting to see if Derry will use the opportunity to run the bench in the second half.  Those on bench not to feature in McKenna Cup yet - Ciaran Mullan and Peter Hagan.


Biggest debate in the press box is a delegation here from Minnesota watching the game.  




Another wide from Marty Clarke - wearing a pair of Down shorts!
