One defensive switch for Derry hurlers

Oisin McCloskey retain his place in the Derry defence

Tom McLean has made just one change to his starting line up for this weekend’s clash with Westmeath in round two of the National Hurling League (Sunday, 2pm).

Meehaul McGrath starts in the half back line, having come on as a sub for Conor McSorley last weekend. Breandan Quigley started at centre half back last weekend, but he has not been named on the squad for this weekend.

McSorley said in this week’s Gaelic Life: “It is a good bunch of lads and it is good to have boys coming in from Slaughtneil, players like Meehaul McGrath.”

Derry play Westmeath who are top of Division 2A, so they have a stiff task on their hands.
