Derry are through to the Ulster U20 football championship final after seeing off Donegal by 0-11 to 0-5 in Owenbeg.
The Oak Leafers controlled large portions of the first-half on their home turf, with Peter McCullagh shooting over a hat-trick of points that helped send his side towards a 0-6 to 0-1 half-time lead.
Luke McGlynn pulled back a point for the visitors three minutes into the resumption but Derry got motoring again as Matthew Downey (2) and Donnacha Gilmore surged them seven points clear.
Charlie Diamond would round off the Oak Leafers’ tally with his third free of the day in the 56th minute, leaving his side to look forward to a provincial decider date against either Down or Monaghan who play each other on Wednesday in Newry (7.30pm).
