Lethal Derry demolish Down

Derry cruised to an 11-points victory over Down in this tame Ulster SHC semi-final in Casement Park yesterday.

On top in all departments, the Oak Leaf men showed all their hurling talents throughout the game as they eased away from the opposition.

They raced into a 0-7 to 0-0 lead in the opening ten minutes and thereafter Down were struggling to stay in contention. While the game produced no goals, both keepers were in excellent form.
