Galway progressed to their first final in 21 years and will meet Kerry in this year's decider.
However, the result didn't get in the way of a large travelling Derry support enjoying their day at Headquarters decked out in their county colours.
It was a sea of red and white and the Journal asked fans to send in their photographs.
