Rory Gallagher hailed his Oak Leaf heroes as they edged Donegal out after extra-time at Clones on Sunday to land a first Ulster title in 24 years.
It was Derry’s first Ulster final since 2011 and now they will go on to a first All-Ireland quarter-final since 2007.
Derry emerged on a 1-16 to 1-14 scoreline with Brendan Rogers delivering the display of a lifetime, with three points from the full-back line.
