Derry’s prospects of landing a first Ulster title since 1998 have been dealt a major blow with the news that Ciaran McFaul won’t be involved in their forthcoming Championship campaign.
The all-action centre-back was a key part of the Glen side who claimed a first-ever Derry SFC title last autumn with Malachy O’Rourke’s side taking Kilcoo to extra-time in the Ulster Club series in December.
Yet, McFaul wasn’t part of the Derry line-up for the Division Two outing against Cork and was a substitute against both Clare and Roscommon.
