Derry boss Rory Gallagher said he was delighted for his players after yesterday’s impressive win over Monaghan in Omagh.

The Oak Leafers left themselves 70 minutes away from back-to-back Ulster SFC titles thanks to a 1-21 to 2-10 victory against the Farney men.

Speaking to RTE Sport afterwards, Gallagher had plenty of praise for his group and their performance.

"It was a very satisfying evening; there's absolutely no doubt about that," he said. "It's what you want to experience in sport, that is great days. I'm delighted for the players and the management team.

"There's no doubt with the ball we were sensational at times, the ease at which we play.

"We have good players, knitting together well, and are mad for learning. Their football IQ is phenomenally high."
