Glenfin 0.11
Buncrana 2.10
Glenfin dropped two valuable points with a lacklustre display against Buncrana. Despite leading by a single point at half time, some poor passing proved costly as they conceded two second half goals. Buncrana lost a man as a result of two yellow cards midway through the second half, but they held their composure and ran out deserving winners by 2-10 to 11pts. Best for Glenfin: Daniel Harkin, Lorcan Donnellan and Kyle Doherty. Best for Buncrana: man of the match John Campbell who hit 1.07, Joseph McGroary and Cialan McGonigle.

Letterkenny Gaels 0.09
The midweek meeting of Naomh Colmcille and Letterkenny Gaels conjured up memories of last years “Battle in Convoy” where Naomh Colmcille prevailed once again but no controversy this time about the time keeping. The first 10 minutes of the game was a very competitive affair with both teams matching each other toe to toe and blow for blow. It was at this point that the superiority of Naomh Colmcille began to shine through with Daniel Clarke and Michael Lynch the 2 main influencers. The missing of a penalty was a big let off for Naomh Colmcille despite the fact that it was a soft penalty to begin with but the team regrouped and kept on the pressure to protect their lead with goals from Niall Monaghan and Daniel Clarke. The score at half time was Naomh Colmcille 2-09 Letterkenny Gaels 0-04 but was not a total reflection on the first half as both teams hit a few wides.
The second half started and Naomh Colmcille came out all guns blazing with no intention of taking any prisoners. Naomh Colmcille remained dominant in both halves of the field with good defence and attacking from all involved with Michael Lynch and Oisin Hasset been 2 key players in the second half. There were some well-taken scores as a whole including fine shooting and execution from Gavin Mc Daid and Oisin Hasset as well as including the third goal of the night and a few well-taken dead ball opportunities by Captain Daniel Clarke. There was a lot of good players playing at the top of their game which made the decision for man of the match that much more difficult but at the end of the day two players shone through equally and it had to go to them – Oisin Hasset and Michael Lynch, well done Lads!!!

There were goals galore at Páirc na Gael as both teams contained forwards with a keen eye for majors. The first half was a close affair with the Gaels pulling clear near half time to leave the score 3.09 to 3.04. The home side took control in the second half with great scores from Kyle Sylvia, Paddy Doherty and Cormac Cannon. The visitors had some excellent performances from Dale McFadden, Lorcan Connors and hat-trick debutant Darren Lynch.
