The Derry team to play Mayo in the final round of the Allianz NFL Division 1 shows a total of fourteen changes from the side that eased past Kildare.

Having already guaranteed themselves a place in the semi-finals along with Cork following last weekend's 2-17 to 3-9 win at Celtic Park, manager Brian McIver has given a number of players, who have not seen much game time in the league yet, a chance to impress against the Connacht champions at MacHale Park on Sunday.

Emmett McGuckin is the only player to retain his position and will partner Niall Holly in midfield after lining out at full forward the last day.

Charlie Kielt captains the side from right half back in the absence of Mark Lynch.

Derry (NFL v Mayo) - Eoin McNicholl; Oisin Duffy, Conor McAtamney, Karl McKaigue; Charlie Kielt, Mark Craig, Aidan McAlynn; Emmett McGuckin, Niall Holly; Aaron Devlin, Danny Heavron, Carlus McWilliams; James Kearney, Declan Mullan, Ciaran McGoldrick.

Subs: Thomas Mallon, Gerard O'Kane, Kieran Conway, Paudie McGuigan, Emmet Bradley, Peter Cassidy, Aaron Kerrigan, Neill McNicholl, Niall McFeely, Ryan Bell, Anthony O'Neill, Cailean O'Boyle.
