Ulster champions Derry take on Connacht champions Galway in the first of this year’s All-Ireland Senior Football Championship semi-finals.
The Oak Leafers haven’t reached the last four since 2004, when they lost out to Kerry, and they slipped behind neighbours Tyrone, Donegal, Monaghan and Armagh in the pecking order in Ulster in recent times.
All that changed this summer, though, as Rory Gallagher’s Derry defeated three of the aforementioned quartet to clinch their first Ulster title since 1998.
