St Mary’s, Convoy 1-15 Naomh Pádraig, Lifford 1-5
St Mary’s had a six-point lead built up by half-time when they led 1-8 to 1-2 and Hugh Harkin’s team didn’t let it slip to score a win that sets up a quarter-final meeting with Letterkenny Gaels.
It was St Mary’s who goaled first when Anthony Browne fired home a penalty after a foul on Sean Cuddy.
