Odhran MacNiallais was in scoring form for Gaoth Dobhair at the weekend.
Gaoth Dobhair held on for a narrow win after being put to the pin of their collar by Glenfin on Saturday evening in Magheragallon.
Gaoth Dobhair 0-14 Glenfin 1-10
Just a point separated the sides at the finish of an evenly and keenly contested encounter from the first whistle to the last.
Glenfin, who are still chasing a first win and with only one point on the league table from their opening day 0-9 each draw with Cloughaneely, led 1-5 to 0-6 at half-time. Mark McGinty’s goal in the middle of the opening half the big score.
And while Gaoth Dobhair had the better of the second half exchanges and led by three points 0-14 to 1-8 closing in on full-time, Glenfin finished strong with late points from Shaun Ward and Odhran McGlynn to cut the Gaoth Dobhair lead to one.
County U-20 player Ward was the game’s top scorer and ended the game with a personal tally of 0-8. Former county senior Odhran Mac Niallais posted 0-5 of his side's tally.
The win means Gaoth Dobhair have gone to the top of the Division One table on eight points from their four wins from four games.
