Tyrone v Derry
Sunday, 28 May
Healy Park, Omagh
Throw-in: 1415 BST
Live: Radio Ulster MW and on the BBC website

Full-back Cormac McGinley has been drafted in by injury-hit Tyrone for the Ulster Championship game with Derry.

McGinley gets a first championship game in three seasons while Raymond Mulgrew makes his debut at left half-forward.

Stephen O'Neill, Gerard Cavlan, Mickey McGee, Joe McMahon and Martin Penrose won't start because of injury.

Liam Hinphey, Joe O'Kane, Joe Diver and Barry McGoldrick get championship debuts for Derry but injury means Sean Marty Lockhart only makes the bench.

Lockhart has failed to recover from a hamstring injury while another injury doubt Gavin Donaghy is also included in the substitutes.

Enda Muldoon is named at right full-forward after missing a number of training sessions in recent weeks because of a niggle.

Derry are without Gerard O'Kane, Patsy Bradley and Paul Cartin because of injury.

For Tyrone, Owen Mulligan has recovered from a foot injury and his inclusion will be a massive boost to a depleted attack.

The midfield partnership of Sean Cavanagh and Kevin Hughes, who starred in Tyrone's first All-Ireland triumph in 2003, will both play in attack, Cavanagh at centre-forward and Hughes on the edge of the square.

Colin Holmes will be partnered at midfield by Peter Donnelly.

Derry: B Gillis; K McGuckin, K McCloy, F McEldowney; L Hinphey, P McFlynn, J O'Kane; J McBride, J Diver; M Lynch, B McGoldrick, F Doherty; E Muldoon, P Bradley, E Bradley. Substitutes: Jonathan Kelly, SM Lockhart, P Cartin, R Convery, F Crossan, G Diamond, P Diamond, G Donaghy, Jim Kelly, B Mullan, C Mullan, D McIlvar, J Niblock, K O'Connor, R Shivers.

Tyrone: P McConnell; R McMenamin, C McGinley, C Gourley; D Harte, C Gormley, P Jordan; C Holmes; P Donnelly, B Dooher, S Cavanagh, R Mulgrew; R Mellon, K Hughes, O Mulligan.
