ULSTER MFC QUARTER-FINALS/Derry 2-9 Donegal 1-7:A GOAL inside 90 seconds from Terence O'Brien left Derry in control in the opening half and they went on to lead 1-6 to 0-4 at the interval. The goal came when Donegal goalkeeper Daniel Mullarkey was dispossessed.
O’Brien struck again eight minutes after the restart to put the game beyond Donegal’s reach. A late penalty goal for Donegal wasn’t enough as Derry advanced to meet Tyrone or Armagh.
