Tyrone overcome a poor Derry in the Ulster SFC....

Ulster SFC Semi-Final:
Tyrone 0-15 Derry 0-7


Reigning All-Ireland Champions Tyrone easily overcame a lacklustre Derry side in a disappointing clash in Casement Park on Sunday. There was much talk that this match was going to be one of the season's best, but it failed to live up to expectations. The O'Neill county are now into the Ulster SFC final where they will take on the winners of Cavan-Antrim.

Although Tyrone performed reasonably well on the day, their overall quality was well below their best but Oak Leafers simply didn't perform and they never seriously threatened the O'Neill county. It didn't help that Derry lost defender Kevin McGuckin who was red-carded for lunging at Sean Cavanagh in the last quarter of the game. However, Tyrone had already achieved double scores over Derry at this point.

There were strong performances from Kevin Hughes, Martin Penrose and Conor Gormley for the Red Hands, while Eoin Bradley was the best for Derry as he scored four of their seven points.
