But Dublin could count on their old warhorses of Ciaran Kilkenny and Con O’Callaghan to drag whatever is left of the glory days into a home draw for next weekend’s preliminary quarter-final of the All-Ireland football championship. After jumping into a 0-4 to 0-0 lead after three minutes, Derry got up to speed and turned this into an absolutely ferocious battle in front of 12,342 spectators in Newry. The teams went in level at 0-13 apiece at the break and when Dublin emerged, they just had too much in a purple patch in the second half to stretch the lead to five.

In that time, Derry had goal chances from Brendan Rogers and Lachlan Murray as the clock ticked away on their All-Ireland hopes for 2025. More to follow….
