The battle of the Emmetts saw Eskra heading to the Lough shore on Friday evening to take on Brocagh.

Derrytresk and Donaghmore Thirds locked horns on Wednesday evening with the Hillmen coming out on top on a score line of 0-14 to 1-6.

Niall Gavin was back on form hitting 0-8 for the winners while Aidan Gavin, Caolan O’Donnell, Ronan O’Neill, Leon Mc Erlane and Eoin Mc Nally were also among the points.

Aghaloo found their shooting boots with a high scoring 2-15 to 1-11 win over an improving Clan na nGael side. A point separated the teams at the break with a Jody Mc Glone (1-6) inspired side Aghaloo leading 1-7 to 1-6. Niall Henderson showed his worth to the team hitting 1-4 while Tiernan Donnelly (4) and Conor Mullen (2) contributed points for the winners. CNG will be disappointed with their second half but with Jody Mc Glone driving them on Aghaloo were good value for their win. Shea Browne led the scoring for CNG with 0-7  with their goal coming from Johnny Knox. Dee Ball (2), Ciaran Kerlin and Gareth Mc Dermott were also on target for the north Tyrone lads.

Augher bounced back from their defeat to Fintona last weekend with a 2-11 to 0-11 win over Glenelly.

Drumquin are certainly running up the scores with Sean Mc Donagh (2-1), Oisin Gormley (4) and Finnan Patterson (4) leading the way for the Wolfe Tones. They were at it again on Friday night seeing off the challenge of Urney winning 2-17 to 0-11 to sit proudly at the top of Division Three on score difference. Former county player Johnny Lafferty hit seven of his team’s eleven points with Jamie Mc Aleer (3) and Mark Lafferty (1) rounding off the Urney scoring.

Fintona travelled up to Brackaville on Friday night and showed their intent with a 1-19 to 0-8 win over the Roes.

Castlederg are still looking for their first points of the season after hosting an impressive Drumragh Sarsfields side on Friday night.

Eoin Montgomery (4), Niall Mc Carney (3), Alex Mc Glinchey (2), Kevin Marron, Kian Murphy and Patrick Colgan completed the scoring for the winners.
