DERRY manager Rory Gallagher has named an unchanged team for Sunday’s Ulster final with Armagh (Clones 4pm).

Derry were winners over Fermanagh and Monaghan on their way to the decider, with Kieran McGeeney’s side seeing of Antrim, Cavan and Down on their way.

There is no starting berth for Ciaran McFaul who will have to wait for his 20th senior appearance.
