Ulster Championship 2025

One other possibility is whether Niall O'Donnell, usually a half-forward, would be left as one of the three men up.

Maybe McBrearty (if he's fit) or Brennan starts in place.

Looks like the only O'Donnell  not named on  the team is Daniel.

I'd be amazed if that's the Donegal team that starts... in the same vein if the Derry team doesn't start as named I'd be very disappointed as it's the strongest 15 we have available.

I'm fearing the worst though I can't see anything other than a comfortable Donegal victory. I hope I'm wrong!

3 changes for Donegal

Michael Murphy for Michael Langan
Odhran McFadden Ferry for Niall O Donnell and Patrick McBrearty for Aaron Doherty

No big surprise there would be changes but didn't expect Murphy to start. Derry play as named.

3 handy wins for Donegal, Wickloand Meath. Predictable starting weekend for championship.

Donegal could have played full team in league final and B team today. Game over already with that missed penalty.

If Derry had taken their chances then they'd be well ahead.

Donegal were not even in league final.

That was a good clean tackle by Rogers there.

[David McKeown]

That was a good clean tackle by Rogers there.

Did he not signal it was within 4m of the mark?

[OakLeaf]

That was a good clean tackle by Rogers there.

I thought it was good, but to give away two 50m advances is poor from Rodgers. Derry just no confidence in front of goal.

[OakLeaf]

Surely Tally needs to swap out Mc Nicholl now.

[Blowitupref]

Half time Donegal 1-12 Derry 1-5. That goal before the break a possible killer for Derry.

[tyrone08]

Donegal lucky not to give away a number of free due to a number of behind tackles. Derry standing off players far too often, little pressure on donegal shooters
