Derry have arrived at the top table following their Ulster title victory according to the man who raised the Anglo Celt Cup in front of thousands of Oak Leaf supporters last Sunday.
Chrissy McKaigue became the first Derry captain in 24 years to lift the famous trophy - an honour last bestowed on Kieran McKeever back in 1998.
Rory Gallagher’s men certainly had to earn the right to be crowned provincial champions as they had to take down three Division One teams, namely Tyrone, Monaghan and Donegal.
