Free-scoring Derry secure promotion

Derry 2-17 Westmeath 1-05

After three years in Division 2, victory over Pat Flanagan’s side ensured that Derry topped the league, an added boost at the end of a successful league campaign.

Two superbly taken penalties by James Kielt were the key scores for the Oak Leafers against the visitors, who were too wasteful in the first half to make a dent in the arrears.
