Derry's attacking options are set to increase ahead of their championship campaign with the return of Colin Devlin to full fitness. Devlin, who was the Oak Leaf County's match-winner against Armagh in last year's All-Ireland qualifier, missed the entire National League after undergoing a groin operation, while he also underwent laser eye surgery in the same period. However, he made his return to club action as a sub for Ballinderry in a recent league game against Loup, and is expected to feature in the club's championship meeting with Glen on Friday night. Devlin made a big impression after forcing his way into the Derry team following last year's Ulster SFC semi-final defeat to Monaghan. He scored 0-2 against Armagh, 1-1 against Mayo, 0-1 against Laois and 0-2 in the All-Ireland quarter-final defeat to Dublin at Croke Park. The National League champions' final outing before their Ulster championship opener against Donegal on June 1 will be a challenge game against Offaly on May 18 in Slaughtmanus. Tweet
