‘Mc attack’: Three changes as Finn Harps get ready for derby battle

written by Chris McNulty February 21, 2020

FINN Harps manager Ollie Horgan has made three changes for tonight’s north west derby against Derry City.

The 2019 Derry City captain Barry McNamee – who made his Harps debut as a sub in last week’s 1-0 win over Sligo Rovers – is in for his first start.

The Ramelton man is joined in the Harps starting XI by his brother Tony.

In a third switch, former QPR youth Leo Donnellan, another of Horgan’s new recruits, makes his Harps debut.

Captain Gareth Harkin, Mark Coyle and Raffaele Cretaro are the men to make way.

Derry boss Declan Devine, meanwhile, has kept faith with the team that started last Friday’s 1-0 defat to Dundalk at Oriel Park.
