Football: Paddy Crozier is expected to officially withdraw his resignation as Derry football manager today after a meeting with county board officials late last night, reports Gavin Cummiskey.

Crozier and his selectors resigned on Friday in protest to a round of club fixtures being scheduled just 24 hours before a championship warm-up game against Dublin in Lusk.

Last Saturday's match was postponed after the Derry players withdrew their services in a show of solidarity for the management team.

Derry face All-Ireland champions Tyrone in the Ulster championship on May 28th. They are due to play Fermanagh in a challenge match next weekend.
