All in one place: All the reports from the weekend's GAA club action

Here's your comprehensive wrap of all the goings on over the weekend - the second in the series - in the All-County Leagues in Donegal

Division 1: Gaoth Dobhair come home from Ardara with the points

A strong finish from Gaoth Dobhair, scoring five points in last 11 minutes, was the foundation for getting first league.

Ardara 0-7
Gaoth Dobhair 0-10

The first score didn't arrive until 12 minutes in a lack lustre first half with Gareth Concarr scoring. Ethan Harkin levelled from a free before the biggest moment of the opening half, John Ross Molloy going the length of the field but then saw his effort for goal rebound off a post. Kevin Whyte and Ethan Harkin traded scores to leave it 0-2 each at the break.

The second half was a more exciting affair with the sublimely skillful Odhrán MacNiallais hitting two points inside nine minutes, the second a massive effort from 45m. Cian Mulligan pushed Gaoth Dobhair three clear, but back came Ardara to level through Paul Walsh, a Conor Classon punch and a CJ Molloy free to leave it 0-5 each after 49 minutes.

But it was Gaoth Dobhair who finished the better with points from Gavin McBride, Ethan Harkin (2) and Cian Mulligan (2) to just two in reply from John Ross Molloy and a Paul Walsh free in added time.

Ardara scorers: Paul Walsh 0-2,1f; Gareth Concarr, Kevin Whyte, Conor Classon, CJ Molloy (f), John Ross Molloy 0-1 each.
