Letterkenny Gaels 0-5
Carndonagh 3-7

Carndonagh made it two wins from two in Division 3 of the All-County Football League at Letterkenny Gaels.

Anthony Doherty opened the scoring with a third-minute goal for the Inishowen side and with wind advantage, they had built up a half-time lead of 1-7 to 0-1.

An Adam Duffy point was the only Gaels score of the first half as the elements made it very difficult.

In the second half, Duffy added three more and Paddy Doherty did reduce the deficit for the Glebe men. However, goals from subs Donal Doherty and Mark Scott were enough for the visitors to secure the points.
