....and a victory for Donaghmore at last.....
Errigal Ciaran 2-19 Galbally 1-8
Errigal Ciaran showed at Dunmoyle on Sunday that they will once again be among the main challengers for honours this season after a comfortable win over Galbally.
The home side signalled their intentions straight from the throw in and by the 17th minute they were well on their way to victory as they led 1-6 to 0-2 with Damian McDermott getting their goal.
Moments later, though, McDermott was red carded by Donal Dorman and the Brocagh whistler took his tally to half a dozen dismissals in just over a week when Galbally defenders Colm Rafferty and Conor McCrory were sent off for double yellow card offences in the second half.
By that stage the issue was beyond doubt as the visitors injury woes continued, already without Mickey Murphy they lost top scorer Paul Rafferty at half time.
Fergal O'Donnell showed good awareness to smash a quickly taken free to the net for a Galbally goal but Adrian O'Donnell then took his tally to eight before Ronan McRory scored a late goal

Donaghmore 1-15 Killyman 0-9
Donaghmore secured their first victory of the campaign but it was only in the second half that they managed to finally get on top of a stubborn challenge from a Killyman side that are still waiting to break their duck.
The St.Marys enjoyed a lightning start to the game as they landed the first five points with Conor Boyle and Eddie Holland getting a couple each.
It took Donaghmore twenty minutes to open their account via a Niall McCaul free but by the break they were only a point in arrears with Hogan Cup winning duo Patrick Doherty and Daniel Toner both on target.
The St.Patricks picked up were they had left of with five unanswered points on the restart with Shane Mulgrew getting three of them before a McCaul goal gave them the cushion that they needed.
Boyle had another couple of points for the visitors but Mulgrew took his haul to six for a Donaghmore side that ended the contest with fourteen men after McCaul picked up a second yellow card from Trillick whistler Kevin Donnelly

Eglish 2-6 Kildress 1-12
Eglish continue to make life difficult for all comers but they still chase those elusive first points of the season after Kildress made it a perfect weekend by picking up their second victory.
Conor Jordan and Des Treacy had points for their respective teams early on before Dwyer Jordan grabbed the first goal of the game in the 20th minute. Sixty seconds later though the Wolfe Tones responded in kind when a long range Treacy effort sailed all the way to the net.
In the final minute of the first half a four man move was finished to the net by Emmett McKenna as Eglish led 2-4 to 1-6 at the interval.
In the opening five minutes of the second half Martin McCann and half back Padraig Martin added to Eglish's lead but they failed to score again as the visitors took over.
A trio of Treacy points had the sides level before Frank McGurk and substitute Michael Lennon ensured victory

Coalisland 1-15 Aghyaran 1-15
Coalisland have hit a wobbly patch in recent times and with only three minutes to go at Fr Campbell Park they looked set for their third defeat in a row but they conjured up a goal and two points as Aghyaran had to make do with a share of the spoils.
Martin Early and Paddy McNeice were among the Fianna points in the first half as they led 0-7 to 0-5 at the break, Martin Penrose with four of his side's points. Early in the second half Aidan Connolly grabbed a goal for the St.Davogs and, with Tyrone attacker Penrose taking his personal haul into double figures, the visitors looked set for victory.
Coalisland responded through Brian Toner and Niall Fox before Plunkett Kane scored a 58th minute goal.
The hosts were still two in arrears though but twice county minor McNeice held his nerve to convert frees to get them out of jail

Carrickmore 0-13 Omagh 0-8
A superb second quarter display was the key to Carrickmore's fifth straight win of the season as they ended the recent good run of Omagh.
The St.Endas led after six minutes through points from Jason McAnula and Conor O'Donnell but they failed to score for the remainder of the contest as the hosts took over. Kevin McNally, Mark Donnelly and defensive duo Niall Loughran and Colm McGurk were all on target as the St.Colmcilles led 0-11 to 0-2 at halftime.
Eight minutes into the second half Carrickmore lost Gabriel McCallan to a straight red card and Omagh's Gary Taggart soon followed him for a similar offence, with Cookstown's Paul Martin man in the middle.
Omagh played a lot better in the second half with Cathal McCarron hitting five points but they had left themselves with too much to do and never looked like overhauling the hosts

Dromore 1-14 Killyclogher 0-7
Not for the first time this season, Dromore turned on the style in the second half as they restricted their opponents Killyclogher to just a single point.
Brian Meenan gave the visitors the lead after only fifteen seconds but that was to be the only occasion that they would get their noses in front. Paddy Montague, Colm McCullagh and Ryan McMenamin were on target for the St.Dympnas but Killyclogher were still only two adrift at the break thanks to scores from Simon O'Neill and Gary Martin.
O'Neill got their only second half score in the 25th minute as they badly missed the services of ace attacker Leo Meenan who is currently injured.
McCullagh and Shane McMahon shared five points between them in the second half while Montague completed the scoring in injury time when he finished a flowing move to net.
