JOHN Cleary has made two changes to his Cork side that beat Meath as they take on Derry in National Football League Division 2 at Celtic Park this Sunday (1pm).

The suspended Ian Maguire is replaced by Seán Walsh while Tommy Walsh also misses out on the panel as Rory Maguire takes his place on the starting team.

There is still no Brian Hurley or Brian O'Driscoll on the panel. They are absent for the third game in succession.
