Carndonagh 3-18 Naomh Colmcille 1-5
Cian and Fergal Doherty and Cian Burke scored the goals that paved the way for the 19 point victory.
The locals were well on the way to victory as they led 1-7 to 0-3 at half-time. Stephen Gallagher did score a goal for Naomh Colmcille in the second half but there was no stopping the locals.
