John Campbell drives Buncrana to victory against Naomh Muire

John Campbell and Michael McLaughlin scored the goals as Buncrana pushed themselves into third place in the Division 2 league on five points following an away win over Naomh Muire. 

The former county underage star Campbell slotted over 1-5, while McLaughlin hit McLaughlin 1-3, as the Buncrana men left the Naomh Mhuire ground with a five-point victory.
