Inishowen Select boss Bryan Bell will be without talented midfielder Malachy McDermott when they face Leisnter in the last 16 of the Oscar Traynor competition this Saturday.
The Moville player’s return to Derry City’s under 21s looked in doubt last week after the FAI transfer rule barred players from moving clubs after January 31.
But it is believed McDermott WILL be released from the Inishowen league as the transfer rule is relaxed for players joining a senior club.
Bell told us: “I spoke to Malachy at the start of the week, and after checking things out with Derry manager Peter Moran, he is satisified his transfer can go ahead.
“Naturally, I’m disappointed, as Leinster will be a tough side to break down and you like to have as many options as possible.
“But I’m going to draft in William McLaughlin and Mark McLaughlin from Illies, so we’ll be heading down to Leinster with every chance.”
