Derry are evolving. Ten different scorers kicked 1-21 as they blew Monaghan aside and reached their second consecutive Ulster final. First things first, was that their best performance under Rory Gallagher?

“I don’t know, I haven’t thought about it,” he said with a shrug. “It was very, very good but if you are asking me, I expect us to beat Monaghan. They are rebuilding. They have a number of players who have played an awful lot of football. We played really well with the ball. A bit sloppy without it.”
