McCullagh to lead Oak Leafers again


PIC - MARGARET McLAUGHLIN
Derry Hurling manager Tom McLean has confirmed that Banagher man Sean McCullagh (on left of picture) will skipper his side again in 2016. 


"Sean did an excellent job last year and we are keeping him in the role."  McLean is rebuilding his squad after losing fifteen of the panel that contested last year's Christy Ring Final.

With the football squad starting their NFL campaign this Sunday, Damian Barton has yet to pick his leader for the season.  It has been muted that Barton doesn't get too cauight up in who he chooses to lead his teams.  He echoed this in an interview after the first McKenna Cup game. 

He told the assembled press that all his players need to step forward and lead by example."Sure they should all be captains.  They all have to accept the responsibility of managing it out on the pitch.  The personnel we have are very quiet players so that’s something we need to develop within them as well. The communication aspect so we’ll keep working at it."
