It was all going to plan for Naomh Columba early in the second half when a goal from Kevin McNern helped them to open up a 2-7 to 1-2 lead.

However, Buncrana battled back with Caolan McGonagle and Kevin Jordan to the fore and they edged in front in the 59th minute.

Paddy Byrne replied with a brilliant goal moments later and late scores from Paul O’Hare and Pauric Hegarty sealed the deal.
