Derry 0-13 Fermanagh 0-8:Derry booked a place in the semi-finals of the Dr McKenna Cup with a comfortable win over Fermanagh at Watty Graham Park, Maghera, yesterday afternoon.

The sides were level at 0-5 apiece at half-time but after the interval Derry got the upper hand and led by 0-11 to 0-8 as the game entered its final 10 minutes before two scores from Raymond Wilkinson and Colin Devlin made the victory safe.
