Tyrone handed out a lesson in attacking football as they strolled to a place in the Ulster Minor football final. Leo Meenan was their star, helping himself to 1-5 with a brilliant display.

Derry struggled to compete in the opening quarter and Tyrone reeled off a string of superb points from Leo Meenan, Sean Cavanagh, Peter Donnelly and Kieran McCrory.

They led by 0-8 to 0-5 at the break, and two goals in the space of three minutes saw them open up a yawning 11 points gap. Meenan picked his spot for the first, before Canavagh burst through from midfield for a brilliant second.

Derry: D O'Boyle, C Wilkinson, G O'Kane, P Mooney, B Conway, C Collins, C Doherty, C O'Brien, Patsy Bradley, C Moran, R Devlin, C O'Neill (0-1), E Bradley (0-1), P Young (0-1), Paul Bradley (0-1). Subs: R Convery (1-2) for Devlin, M O'Connor for Wilkinson, R McElhone (0-1) for Moran, S Mullan for O'Neill.
