MacCumhaills can still make an league final but need other results to go their way in the last round of games.
MacCumhaills 3-20
Downings 0-9
MacCumhaills kept their chances of a Division 1 league final spot alive with a dominant win over Downings in Ballybofey on Saturday.
By the midpoint, Gary Wilson’s charges led 1-12 to 0-6 with Downings losing Hugo Davis to a red card in between.
Shaun McMenamin, Jamie Keegan and Kevin McCormick netted the goals for the winners with Keegan ending the game with a 1-7 total while McCormick would bag 1-4 by the last whistle.
Others to shine in this comprehensive win were Conor McGinty with four points while Luke Gavigan also impressed over the hour.
Downings had little or nothing to play for at the weekend but MacCumhaills must now defeat rivals Glenfin in their last outing and hope that either Naomh Conaill or Gaoth Dobhair slip up in their final fixtures. Gaoth Dobhair host Kilcar while Naomh Conaill welcome Malin.
