Antrim 0-10 Derry 1-13
A second half goal from Mark Lynch helped Derry win through the Ulster SFC semi-finals at Casement Park this afternoon.
Lynch netted in the 51st-minute after his corner forward colleague Raymond Wilkinson had teed him up. The Oak Leafers brought star man Paddy Bradley on for the closing 10 minutes.
Derry were 0-6 to 0-1 ahead before points from Conor McGourty (0-2), Patrick Cunningham (0-2) and Kevin Niblock had the Saffrons level at 0-6 apiece at half-time.
Conleth Gilligan and Enda Muldoon moved Derry ahead again before Lynch's goal sent Paddy Crozier's men on the way to a pleasing win.
