Leigh Crerand of Glenswilly on the move with Paul Murphy from Bundoran in attendance
Cian McEniff squared it up late on as Bundoran pulled a point out of the bag against Glenswilly in Division 1.
Glenswilly 1-14 Bundoran 1-14
The visitors, who had Cathal Corey taking charge for the first time, had got off to a perfect start with Alan Russell the goalscorer on two minutes, although 15 minutes from time Caoimhinn Marley netted for Glenswilly - and that tipped the tide.
The home team pushed their lead out to three with Mark McAteer pointing five from time, only for Bundoran to claw it back.
At the break, Russell’s goal, which came after Philip O’Donnell in the Glenswilly goal saved initially from Peter McGonigle, was the difference, with Bundoran 1-6 to 0-8 up. Shane McDevitt was keeping Glenswilly in touch, though, with McEniff of Bundoran ending up with seven points in all.
Bundoran were edging ahead but Mark McAteer, who had a fine game, played in Marley to confirm the swinging of the pendulum but Bundoran and McEniff had other ideas.
