Gaoth Dobhair goal scorer Niall Friel
Gaoth Dobhair maintained their good start to the season with a five point win over Glenswilly in Magheragallon.
Gaoth Dobhair . . . 1-6
Glenswilly . . . 0-4
Niall Friel scored the goal for the winners with Gavin McBride, Michael Carroll, and Cian Mulligan chipping in with the points.
Caolan Kelly,Neil Gallagher and Gary McFadden were the Glenswilly scorers in what was a scrappy and highly tactical battle played in blustery condition.
Glenswilly lined out without Michael Murphy. The county captain suffered a dead leg injury the previous week against Cloughaneely.
Neil McGee was absent from the Gaoth Dobhair line-up.
The locals played against the strong wind in the first half and led by two points, 0-4 to 0-2.
Cian Mulligan, who proved to be Glenswilly's main tormentor all afternoon, kicked two of the points, Gavin McBride and Michael Carroll landed the other two.
Gary McFadden and Caolan Kelly scored the game's first two scores.
Neil Gallagher landed the first point of the second half to reduce the margin to one.
But this was soon cancelled by another Mulligan special before Niall Friel got forward for the game's only goal.
Friel found space in front of the Glenswilly posts to take a Kevin Cassidy cross to give Philip O'Donnell little chance from five metres.
The goal opened up a five point advantage and there was to be no way back for Glenswilly.
Caolan Kelly and Gavin McBride traded late points as Gaoth Dobhair ran out comfortable winners.
