Derry GAA: The shadow boxing is over

On Sunday Derry enter the championship arena, a mouthwatering 5th meeting of the season with age old rivals Tyrone at Celtic Park (2pm). It's the first meeting between the sides since Derry's 0-15 to 0-8 defeat in Casement Park back in 2009.  In Tuesday's County Derry Post we look ahead to this weekend's eagerly awaited clash. 12 pages to whet the appetite including: Brian McGuckin and Damian Barton 'behind enemy lines' finalising their preparations. Thomas Mallon tells how he is relishing the day he has dreamt about since he was a young boy. James Kielt hopes to break the stranglehold of Ulster's big three. Shane Heavron on inter-county life alongside his brother Danny. Damian McErlain reflects on success in 2015 and he is waiting for this year's minor crop to step up to the plate. Mattie Donnelly talks about 2014,  how Tyrone regrouped and the four previous wins over Derry counting for nothing on Sunday. There is also predictions, previews and stats. Not forgetting our extensive roundup of the Derry GAA club scene including Craigbane's win over Doire Trasna and Magherafelt's tightly contested encounter with Swatragh....and all the local sport.
