Tyrone a class apart against indifferent Derry

Tyrone 3-14 Derry 0-12: Strip away all the fireside reminisces about past battles and a rivalry for the ages and this was no more than a meeting of one team ascending towards the summit of football’s ladder and another for whom treading water is the height of their ambitions.

So it proved.

Thirty-five minutes was pretty much all it took for Mickey Harte’s side to give credence to the burgeoning levels of interest in their summer duties and to the suggestion that a first Ulster title since 2010 should be just the start of their ambitions.
