EUNAN Mulholland replaces Emmet Bradley in the published Derry line-up for Sunday’s All-Ireland quarter-final against Kerry at Croke Park (3.15pm).

Mulholland replaced his Glen clubmate and neighbour nine minutes into the second half of Derry’s epic penalty shootout win against Mayo in Castlebar last Saturday night.

Gareth McKinless had returned from suspension for that game and he retains his place at the centre of an unchanged defence. Hard-working forward Niall Loughlin is named among the subs for what is a repeat of last year’s All-Ireland semi-final which the Kingdom won by two points thanks to a late comeback. Derry had shaded the exchanges until the closing stages and Kerry scored the last five points of the game to progress to the decider against Dublin.

Meanwhile, Kerry manager Jack O’Connor has gone with the same team that beat Louth 2-21 to 1-10 in their final group game.

Derry: O Lynch; C McCluskey, C McKaigue, D Baker; C Doherty, G McKinless, E McEvoy; C Glass, B Rogers; E Doherty, C McFaul, P Cassidy; E Mulholland, S McGuigan, L Murray

Subs: R Scullion, E Bradley, D Cassidy, M Doherty, S Downey, R Forbes, D Gilmore, N Loughlin, D McDermott, C Murphy, N Toner

Kerry: S Ryan; P Murphy, J Foley, T O’Sullivan; B O Beaglaoich, T Morley, G White; D O’Connor, J O’Connor; T Brosnan, P Clifford, D Moynihan; D Clifford, S O’Shea, P Geaney

Subs: S Murphy, D Casey, C Burke, M Breen, S O’Brien, A Spillane, BD O’Sullivan, K Spillane, S O’Brien, D Geaney, G O’Sullivan, D Roche, A Heinrich
