Derry 0-12 Fermanagh 0-08

Derry will take on reigning champions Tyrone in next month's Dr McKenna Cup final after coming through Fermanagh's challenge at Healy Park.

Mickey Moran's side eased through despite scoring just one second-half point through skipper Paddy Bradley.

The returning Niall McCusker, Paul Flynn and Sean Marty Lockhart bolstered the Oak Leaf ranks, with Bradley, Conleth Gilligan and Padraig Murphy pointing them to a 0-11 to 0-03 half-time lead.

Fermanagh, served best once more by the Gallagher cousins, simply had no answer and also failed to take advantage of their fellow 2004 All-Ireland semi-finalists losing midfielder Patsy Bradley to a straight red card late on.

Moran's charges take on Tyrone on February 20.
