Sunday GAA: Donegal come out on top against Derry to reach Ulster quarter-final

Donegal have come out on top by 10 points against Derry keeping the defence of their Ulster football title well on track.

The score in that game was Donegal 1-25 Derry 1-15.

Donegal will meet Monaghan on April 20th in the Ulster Senior Football Championship quarter-final.

Jim McGuinness' team led by 1-12 to 1-5 against Derry early in the second half.

Elsewhere, Joe Murphy is taking charge of Carlow for the first time in their Leinster Senior Football match against Meath, which is underway in Navan.

Longford take on Wicklow from 3:30pm - with the winners set to face Dublin next weekend.

There was also a 3:30pm throw-in time for the Connacht Senior Football Championship clash between Mayo and Sligo in Castlebar, while Gaelic Park is sold-out for New York's meeting with Galway on Sunday night.

Cork manager Pat Ryan said a win in Sunday afternoon's National Hurling League final would be the perfect preparation for the Munster Championship.

The Rebels take on Tipperary at a sold-out Páirc Uí Chaoimh as they chase a first league crown since 1998.

Tipperary topped the table at the end of the regular section of the league and won when the sides met in Thurles earlier this year.

Despite a late and impressive rally from Offaly, Waterford held on for deserving win in the Division 1B hurling final.

The Irish Times reported that Waterford were certainly superior throughout the first half, but that Offaly will take some comfort from their spirited comeback.

The scoreline there was Waterford 1-27 (30) Offaly 2-20 (26).
