Conor McCluskey had seven minutes of c'ship football before this year. Kieran McGeary, Kieran Hughes, Jamie Brennan, Aaron Griffin all scoreless and replaced. Shane Walsh scoreless from play. And all while offering plenty to Derry's attacking moves. A brave innings #Clucky

Derry beat two division one teams to get to an Ulster final. Then, when they went behind, found a way to win the in Clones another big gun. Narrative seems to be about the shortfallings of Tyrone, Monaghan and Donegal. Derry won Ulster the hard way and deserve credit #GAA
