A point from Ryan McNicholl with the last move of the match earned Derry a dramatic one-point win over Donegal in Wednesday night’s Ulster under-20 football semi-final in Ballybofey, on a final scoreline of 1-12 to 0-14.
Donegal had led this game by 0-7 to 0-4 at half-time – but Derry were a transformed side after the break with Oisin Doherty’s early second-half goal changing the momentum of the contest.
