Barry Dunnion’s men continued to push on for the remainder of the opening stanza and a major from young forward Thomas Lenehan saw them extend their cushion to lead by seven at the short whistle, with the scoreboard reading 0-5-1-9.
The Donegal Town men kicked the first two scores of the second stanza but Danny O’Donnell’s men soon responded with a goal of their own through Joey Gillespie.
However, the Tir Conaill Park residents began to find their groove and they kept the scoreboard ticking for the remainder of Act Two to record a fine victory on the road.
