Liam Hinphey returns to the Derry team for their Christy Ring Cup opener against Wicklow.

The inclusion of Hinphey at centre back is one of three changes made by manager Ger Rogan for tomorrow's championship opener at Owenbeg.

Full back Paddy Kelly and midfielder Tiernan McCloskey also come into the Oak Leaf County XV, with Conor Quinn, Paul Kelly and Michael Kirkpatrick the trio making way.

Oisin McCloskey has been moved in to the edge of the square.
