Donegal 3-7

Fermanagh 1-2

Donegal have retained the Andrew O'Neill Cup following a comfortable victory over Fermanagh at Healy Park.

The Erne County briefly led late in the first half, but Donegal got their noses back in front at half-time and kicked on from there to earn an All-Ireland 'B' quarter-final joust with Kerry in a fortnight's time.

Two Aaron McCauley points helped the winners to a 0-3 to 0-0 lead before Fermanagh scored a goal and a point to take the lead. But Donegal replied with points from Paul Nelson and Stephen Doherty to lead by 0-5 to 1-1 at the interval.

Donegal took control after Sam Doherty's 39th minute goal extended their advantage to six points, 1-7 to 1-1. Doherty raised another green flag before Nelson also got in on the goal-scoring act before the end.
