Celtic Park will host Derry's clash with Antrim
Derry Ladies will open their league against Antrim at Celtic Park next weekend, it has been confirmed.
The Oakleafers, under the management of Antrim native Odhran McNeilly, will play at the county ground before travelling to Louth and Leitrim.
On the flipside, there is a Derry link in the Saffrons' camp. Former Derry player Emma Kelly, a native of Desertmartin, took over as Antrim manager this year after playing for the county. Emma played at full-back in Antrim's All-Ireland junior winning team of 2012.
She has brought Kyla Trainor, an All-Ireland intermediate winner with Down in 2014, in as a selector.
It will make for an interesting sub-plot along the sideline as the season gets under way.
Derry's games:
Sunday, May 23 (2.00)
Celtic Park: Derry v Antrim
Sunday, May 30 (2.00)
Ballinamore: Leitrim v Derry
Sunday, June 6 (2.00)
