After tonight's third-round matches in the McKenna Cup, Tyrone, Fermanagh, Cavan and Derry are through to the last four.

Holders Tyrone go forward with a 100% record following their facile 2-9 to 0-6 victory over Antrim at Omagh. All the damage was done in the first half as the Red Hands netted through Padraig McNulty inside 30 seconds before Lee Brennan added a stunning second major on the stroke of the short whistle to give Mickey Hartes men an insurmountable 2-5 to 0-2 advantage.

Tyrone's opponents on Sunday will be Fermanagh, who also won all three of their group games. Having already accounted for St Marys and Down, Pete McGrath's side completed the clean sweep with a superb 0-12 to 0-8 defeat of Donegal at Brewster Park tonight. Sean Quigley scored five times for the winners, including some wonderful long-range frees.

Cavan finished top of their section unbeaten, although they were held to a 0-14 each draw in an exciting contest at Breffni Park tonight. Monaghan introduced All Star Conor McManus from the bench to make sure their neighbours didn't claim bagging rights.

The fourth semi-final place went to Derry, who prevailed by 0-17 to 2-8 against Queens at Celtic Park to finish as the best-placed runners-up. Conor Kearns hit five points on his debut to take the Man of the Match award.

At the Athletic Grounds, Ronan McNamee landed a last-gasp winner for UUJ against Armagh (2-7 to 1-9), while goals from substitutes Packie Downey (2) and Cathal Doyle saw Down defeat St Marys by 3-20 to 2-14 in a pulsating encounter at Newry.
