Derry hoping to have quartet back

Derry's Mark Lynch

Derry boss Damien Barton could welcome back as many as four of his stars for Sunday's crunch Division Two meeting with Meath.

Mark Lynch, Dermot McBride, Liam McGoldrick and Declan Mullan could all potentially be available to Barton after his side's thrilling draw with Laois last time out.

Team captain Chrissy McKaigue says the Oak Leafers are desperate to get back to winning ways and maintain their chase from promotion to the top tier, along with Cavan and Galway.

"It's a strange kind of game because we can still get promoted and we can still get relegated," McKaigue told The Irish News.

"We want to get players back on the track again - we've had an unbelievable spell of injuries there, that's the biggest thing. We're hopeful we'll get a few boys back for the weekend and a stronger squad out because it's getting to that stage now where the Championship is on the horizon."

Throw-in for Sunday's game at Owenbeg is at 2pm.
