The corner forward scored a goal and nine points in the ten-point win while Conor McLaughlin, Cian Burke, Kyran Cantwell. Michael Noone and Olan McLaughlin also chipped in with scores in the impressive win over the men from the south west. 

Full forward Kyle McHugh top-scored for Ardara while Michael Mulreany, Joe Kitterick and Cian Sweeney were the other Ardara men to raise white flags.
