Emmett Bradley insists Derry is a happy camp, despite rumours to the contrary.

Rumours of unrest had dogged Mickey Harte’s side before they arrested a three-game losing streak with a win over Westmeath last Saturday to set up an All-Ireland SFC preliminary quarter-final against Mayo this weekend.

"There was none of that," the Glen clubman told RTÉ when asked if there was disharmony in the camp.

"At the end of the day there are rumours and as we know people love to, whenever things like that come out, people love to jump on the back of them and, and sort of to fuel it and everything else.

"But no, there was none of that. We were fully focused on trying to rectify what went wrong in those games. As a playing group we definitely weren't happy with it, given the standards that we had set previous to that.

"It’s very important for us to just assess that and try to put a plan in place to try improve and guard against it again.

"So that's what we'll be focusing on for Mayo particularly, If we're not at our best, moving on against those lads, the level they're operating at the minute then we'll do well to get our results. We need to hopefully fix that in a short space of time, and hopefully we can, we can compete really well."
