U20: Derry 1-13 Fermanagh 1-8 (AET)

In Celtic Park on Saturday, Derry and Fermanagh met in the preliminary round clash in the Ulster Under 20 Championship. Seán Cassidy’s goal put the away side 1-5 to 0-3 up at the break and it was a tough slog for Derry to retrieve the deficit in the second half.

Jude McAtamney’s dead ball accuracy in difficult conditions cut the gap to two points and it fell to Eunan Mulholland and Alex Doherty to raise white flags in the closing ten minutes and leave the final score 1-6 to 0-9.

Callum Jones and Micheál Glynn put Fermanagh two up at the start of extra time but Derry quickly took control of the tie and finished the game with 1-4 unanswered to win by 1-13 to 1-8, Cormac Murphy striking the goal that sealed their place in the last eight, where they’ll meet Antrim.
