The Fermanagh champions decided to string a load of big bodies across their own 45 metre line and allow Kilcoo to play about with the ball at midfield. From the resultant kickout, Aaron Branagan hoovered up the break ball. It was worked through the hands after a dash by Ceilum Doherty, with Conor Laverty executing a clever reverse pass to set up Daryl Branagan straight in front of goal. He even had time to dummy two defenders before picking his spot in the net beyond goalkeeper Johnny McGurn.It left the score 1-4 to 0-2, Paul Devlin piling on another before the break, with Ryan Jones’ two from play Derrygonnelly’s only response.

A second goal came on 54 minutes, a high ball in and Conor Laverty put Aaron Jones in just enough trouble to get a loose ball for Ceilum Doherty to slot home. Another followed two minutes from time when a big break yielded a Shealin Johnston goal to really underline the rout.Scorers for Derrygonnelly Harps: R Jones , C Jones
