And they began brightly, with Convery scoring after only four minutes.
Oisin O’Doherty kept his side in the lead with some excellent saves, before Paddy McCloskey got a second goal just before half-time, after being set up by Ruairi McCloskey.
Two more goals in the opening ten minutes of the second half, from McCloskey and Convery respectively, virtually ended the game as a contest.
And while a place in the semi-finals was assured for Derry, the game’s finish was marred slightly by a red card for full back Conor Quinn.
Armagh though, with little time remaining, failed to capitalise on their man advantage.
