Damien McErlain praised his Derry Minor players for digging deep to ensure their dominance of the Minor Football scene was maintained at Healy Park.
McErlain, whose Derry minor teams across two stints as manager, have now won an incredible 29 of their 33 games, hailed his team as a ‘serious group of players’ as they saw off Armagh by 2-7 to 0-10 to win a third title in five years.
“Every one of them brought quality to it, brought it not just on the field of play, but quality in the background in terms of culture,” said McErlain.
