Derry manager Damian McErlain has named his side for Sunday’s Ulster SFC preliminary round against Tyrone in Omagh.

The team shows two changes for the one which defeated Leitrim in the Division 4 final at Croke Park at the end of March, with Sean Francis Quinn coming in at right corner-back for Michael McEvoy, who has jetted off to the US for the summer.

The other personnel switch sees Ciaran McFaul named at number 12 instead of Conor Doherty in a line-up which includes seven members of the Slaughtneil club.

Throw-in at Healy Park is at 4pm.

Derry (Ulster SFC v Tyrone): Thomas Mallon; Sean F Quinn, Brendan Rogers, Karl McKaigue; Paul McNeil, Chrissy McKaigue, Niall Keenan; Padraig Cassidy, Conor McAtamney; Emmett Bradley, Enda Lynn, Ciaran McFaul; Shane McGuigan, Ryan Bell, Christopher Bradley
