EMMETT BRADLEY has been drafted back into Derry’s starting line-up by manager Rory Gallagher as they attempt to edge past an unchanged Galway side into the All Ireland SFC final.

While Tribesmen boss Pádraic Joyce has not tinkered with the XV who went all the way against Armagh in that epic penalty shootout victory last time out, Gallagher has shuffled his pack somewhat ahead of Saturday’s clash at Croke Park.

Bradley will be in the heart of the action alongside Conor Glass, having previously been utilised as a impact player off the bench.

Niall Toner looks set to lose out to Bradley, and it appears that Galway captain Seán Kelly will get his reprieve after the red card he was shown during that mass brawl of players at full-time of the quarter final was rescinded.

Among the changes to Galway’s bench, Johnny McGrath comes in for the suspended Cathal Sweeney and Tomo Culhane is replaced by Dylan Canney.
