Aaron Kerrigan’s 1-4 scoring salvo at Healy Park helped Derry advance to the quarter final of the Ulster U21 Football Championship where they meet Fermanagh.

They outscored their opponents 1-5 to 0-1 in the closing stages and corner forward Kerrigan scored a late 1-2.

Derry led 0-7 to 0-5 at half-time and ran out seven-point winners.
