Brian McNulty, Ben Gormley and Ronan Boyle all played well in defence for the winners.

The final quarter final spot in this section is between Ardboe and Galbally with them set to meet at Pearse Park this Friday evening.

Carrickmore made sure of top spot in section 1B and with it a home draw in the quarter finals after beating Omagh at home. Ruairi Slane [2-2], Paddy McElduff [3], Ciaran Cuddy [1-2], Joe Fox [2], James McGurk [1], Ciaran Daly [4], Dara Casey [2] and Tiernan Murray [1] were the St.Colmcilles scorers.

Adam Edwards got the goal for the St.Eugenes with Tori Nicholas [2], Dominic Devine, Eoin Donnelly, Gary Duffy and Ciaran McSorley all supplying points for them.

Donaghmore and Kildress are still both top and second respectively in section 2A despite both of them suffering their first defeats of the campaign. The St.Patricks were well beaten away to a Clonoe side who can still qualify for the quarter finals. Ryan McCabe top scored for the O’Rahillys with 1-5 to his name, Joe Brady got their other goal with Ronan Corey [3], Shane Conlan [2] and Ryan O’Neill [3] all getting points. Tyler Devlin, James Taggart and Shea McGrath played well in defence for the winners as did Arian Devlin and Michael O’Neill in midfield.

The Wolfe Tones lost out by the minimum margin at home to a Stewartstown side who are joint third in the table. Shea Burke got 1-4 for the Harps with Peadar Lowe their other goal scorer and Daire Coyle, Conor Lowe, Gerard O’Neill and Kyran Robinson claiming points. Nathan McNally, Kyran Robinson and Cumhai O’Neill all put in good shifts for Stewartstown on the day. Matty McGuigan [6] and Pauric Lagan [5] done the majority of the scoring for Kildress with Tiernan and Darragh Loughran getting their names on the scoresheet as well.

Both Domhnaigh moved clear at the top of section 2B thanks to a narrow 1-9 to 0-10 win away to Strabane. S Devine got the only goal of the game for the Gortin/Glenelly select with A McConnell, C Brolly and Devine scoring points as well. Drumragh remain very much in the hunt for a quarter final berth after winning 2-11 to 2-10 away to Gael Naomh Padraig. Ciaran Donaghey got the Sarsfields first goal but they trailed by three points with normal time up. Full back James Broderick then scored an equalising goal before substitute Mal McManus proved to be the hero with a dramatic late winner.
