Eoghan Hawe scored a brace of second half goals as Derry eased past Fermanagh at the Athletic Grounds to qualify for the last four of the Ulster MFC.

Points from Conleth McGuckin and Enda Downey (two) helped the winners to a 0-3 to 0-2 lead at the break after they had played against the breeze in the first half.

After the restart, Paddy Campbell's charges took complete control with corner forward Hawe helping himself to 2-1, including a second-half penalty.
