Mickey Harte believes that the 'precaution' he took of not fielding his strongest Derry team against Dublin earlier this month has paid off.

Derry were comfortably beaten in that Round 5 encounter at Celtic Park though won the rest of their games, securing top spot in Division 1 and a final rematch with the Dubs this Sunday.
