Five minutes into the second half Derry doubled their lead when Gareth McGlynn volleyed Alan Murphy's flick over the keeper and into the net.

Derry made it 3-0 in the 54th minute when Mark Farren drove the ball home after O'Flynn had set him up.

Kildare grabbed a consolation goal after 64 minutes. Gareth Cooney sent Shay Zellor clear and the striker gave David Forde no chance from 16 yards.
