"We are using the full 11 weeks to maximise the time available to us. "The people at Croke Park have done a fantastic job in giving the club players 11 weeks before the inter-county season starts, with the provincial championships and the All-Irelands taking place from mid-October to Christmas. The format for this year's Derry club series will involve four groups of four, with seedings for the knockout stages determined by the finishing position in the four different groups. "Rory [Gallagher, Derry football manager] will have a few weeks to prepare with the players before we take on Armagh in the Ulster SFC."
