HAMSTRUNG…Mickey Harte has had to go without the injured Rory Brennan for Sunday’s game

TYRONE manager Mickey Harte has named his starting 15 for Sunday’s Ulster Championship opener against Derry.

As expected, Rory Brennan misses out with a hamstring injury while the McMahons, Justin and Joe, Conor Meyler and Conor Clarke are not deemed fit enough to start.

Harte was able to name Niall Morgan on the bench though and said that Ronan McNabb is very close to a return.

Tyrone USFC (v Derry): M O’Neill; A McCrory, R McNamee, C McCarron; T McCann. N Sludden, P Harte; C Cavanagh, M Donnelly; C McShane, M Bradley, R Donnelly; C McAliskey, S Cavanagh, R O’Neill
