A goal early in the second half from Cillian Bonner put Na Rossa on their way to a home win against Carndonagh at Madavagh on Sunday.

Na Rossa 1-7
Carndonagh 0-7

There was a strong wind at the venue and Carndonagh took advantage of it in the first half leading 0-5 to 0-2 at the break. Indeed, there was 25 minutes on the clock before Na Rossa's first score from Oisin Caulfield. Cillian Bonner added the second point.



Then with the wind at their backs, Bonner's goal had his side level and they were never headed after that. Bonner put them in front before points from Odhrán Molloy (2) and J P McCready (2) sealed the win.
