Milford 3-11 Naomh Columba 0-13

Naomh Columba were well in command, but a Darragh Black goal ensured that Milford moved onto an even keel by the break.
Ten minutes into the second half McGettigan magnificently shot to the top cotner and when Cullen added a third Milford could almost touch the uppermost tier in Donegal foootball.
[adrotate group=”37″]They can seal the issue against Glenfin at Pairc Tabhoige next Saturday evening.
