Ulster champions Derry return to action on Saturday when they host Monaghan in a repeat of the provincial semi-final from last month.
The Oak Leafers claimed a facile eight-point win over the Farney in Omagh before defeating Armagh on penalties to clinch a second successive Ulster title in Clones.
That victory came following a turbulent week off the pitch for the Derry players following the departure of Rory Gallagher with Ciaran Meenagh taking charge for the remainder of the season.
