Derry Manager Declan Devine is looking for the Candystrips to improve on last season but knows their Premier Division opener away to Longford will be a tough start.
There has been a huge shift in playing personal within the squad, that now has an average age of just 23.
There was a buzz around the Brandywell this weekend with the pre-season Media Day on Thursday - Kevin McLaughlin attended for Highland Radio Sport where he spoke with boss Declan Devine, Ciaran Coll and firstly City Captain Eoin Toal.
