Ethan Harkin scored a second goal for Gaoth Dobhair early in the second half to put them 2-6 to 0-5 ahead. MacCumhaill’s kept battling away but a third goal for Gaoth Dobahir from Stephen McFadden paved the way for victory as they went 3-6 to 0-8 ahead 16 minutes into the second half. Gallen was the undoubted star for the losers, contributing ten of their points.
