Derry progress in cruise control

Derry 1-16 Wexford 0-10: Two games Derry have won this summer, and both of them have been harder work than they ought to have been.

That’s not to say that Wexford particularly troubled them in Owenbeg on Saturday. Once Brian Malone spilled the ball into his own net five minutes from the interval and handed Derry a four-point lead, the hosts were always comfortable.

By the break, the shell-shocked visitors had leaked a further three points, and suddenly, they were out of the game.
