Ref Lane in firing line as irate Derry boss quits

Galway 1-11 Derry 0-8

There was nearly as many fireworks after the game as there was during it, but in the end Galway wound up easy winners over Derry at Pearse Stadium and a place in the last 12 of the championship is theirs.

As everyone at the game began to drip dry in the moments after the full-time whistle, Derry manager Brian McIver resigned as manager citing his anger at the performance of referee Conor Lane as one of the mitigating factors.
