Nine points from Shane McGuigan and a goal courtesy of Conor McCluskey helped the Oakleafers to victory
That advantage quickly became 0-6 to 0-2 before a cracking 18th minute goal from Karl O’Connell pulled the Farney right back into contention.
Rory Gallagher’s men tapped again on the accelerator, and when the high-octaned Conor McCluskey sped through on goal and dispatched a clinical finish it left Derry six ahead with five to play in the opening half. Two late half Conor McManus frees book-ended points from McGuigan, Conor Doherty and Derry goalkeeper Odhran Lynch to leave the reigning Ulster champions 1-12 to 1-5 ahead at half-time.
