The League champions and defending Ulster champions host Donegal in a mouth-watering provincial quarter-final this weekend
Mickey Harte couldn’t have wished for a better start to his tenure as Derry boss after annexing both the Dr McKenna Cup and Allianz Football League Division One titles.
“You would have hoped for that kind of start because, I felt, looking at them over the last couple of years, they are a top-class side,” said Harte.“I thought to myself ‘they are capable of doing this’ - they are capable of being at the top end of this League. “When you get away from the threat of relegation, you are thinking ‘what about the other side of the table?’ That’s what has happened."
The three-time All-Ireland winning manager brought his long-time assistant Gavin Devlin from Louth with him and, speaking at the recent launch of the Ulster Championship, Harte revealed Devlin’s importance to the Derry cause, labelling the Ardboe native as the best coach he has ever worked with.
