Murphy, McFadden Ferry and McColgan back in Donegal panel for Derry clash

Donegal manager Jim McGuinness has named his panel to take on Dublin in the fifth round of the Allianz League Division 1 at Fr Tierney Park in Ballyshannon on Sunday.

Donegal have six points from their three outings, with wins over Dublin, Kerry and Armagh followed by a first loss of the campaign, 0-21 to 0-14, against Galway at Pearse Stadium last Sunday.
