With the wind at their backs the home side made a confident start hitting the opening five points with Cahir McCullagh weighing in with a number of eye catching scores.

In truth this was a complete mismatch from start to finish and the fact that Moortown failed to trouble the umpires in the first half tells its own story as the visitors now find themselves bottom off the table on their own.

Omagh 0-5 Derrylaughan 1-7
A brilliant first half display during which they scored all bar one of their tally, despite playing against the wind helped lay the foundations for a shock but fully merited win for Derrylaughan at Healy Park.
The home side welcomed back Justin McMahon from injury but throughout the sixty minutes they were forced to play second fiddle to a Kevin Barrys side who all but ensured their status and have now their sights set on a semi-final place. Ciaran Quinn and Fergal McAliskey had early points for the visitors before Jason McAnulla got one of only two first half scores for the St.Endas.
