The same eight teams remain in the top half of the league after today’s results but as expected the “big four” take the top four spots, and the home venues.
It was more fluid at the bottom. Wins for St Nauls and Killybegs hauled them both clear of the Relegation play-offs, Glenswilly had a narrow escape as Baile na nGalloglach drew with Na Ceithre Maistír to push the Donegal town side clear and leave the Milford side on just one league point -an extra point on the pitch to give them victory would have put them ahead of Glenswilly on points difference. Results were:
O’Donnell Park | Naomh Adhamhnáin 2-13 | Naomh Micheál 0-7 |
Machaire Gathlán | Gaoth Dobhair 1-15 | Sean MacCumhaill 0-13 |
