Glenelly defeated Augher 1-16 to 1-15 when they took the lead for the first time in the game with the last kick of the match.

Lafferty hit five of his team’s points while Ryan Henry contributed 1-5 and Jake Lafferty and Liam Langan got their team’s other goals.

The Donaghmore goals came from Mark Mc Goldrick and Sean Mc Caul while Mark Nugent (3) and Conor Mc Ginn were among the points. The second half was competitive and intense with both sides enjoying periods of supremacy. Donaghmore’s third goal put them four clear and in a good position to win but back came the Hill Men and a Pat Canavan goal left a point in it . The teams swapped scores and with time almost up and a point in it Derrytresk were awarded a penalty and the chance to win it. Unfortunately for them Ryan Mc Gee’s effort went over the bar to leave the game as a draw.
