Emmet McGuckin will play no further part in this season's Dr McKenna Cup.

The Derry full forward produced an influential display as Donegal were put to the sword at Owenbeg on Sunday but won't be available for any more of the Oak Leafers' matches in the winter competition as he attends a third-level college in  Birmngham.

"Every game out on the pitch is a help," the 23-year-old told The Irish News. "It's that different type of fitness.

"At this time of year, that is what you want. You want to be playing good games like that.

"For the McKenna Cup, I would say that would be the end but I hope to be back for the first league game against Donegal, which I would say will be a lot different."
