Pairc na nDúnaibh in Downings played host to the visit of Gaeil Fhanada
Shaun Carr and Liam McGreneghan scored late goals as Gaeil Fhanada came from four points down against Downings in Pairc Na Dunaibh in the U-21B Championship.
Downings 2-8
Gaeil Fhanada 3-8
It was the second time in a keenly contested fixture the Portsalon side had come from behind after Downings had charged into an early four-point lead. Paddy McElwee, on the edge of the square, top scored for the locals with 1-6 in all. Corner-forward Kyle McFadden netted the other Downings goals.
Downings lined out without the injured Johnny McGroddy and Ross Cullen and looked to be in a decent position. However, with Eoin Logue also a goalscorer, it was the visitors who left with the win.
