Naomh Brid chalked up another away win in the Yes Chef Division 3 with a five point win over Naomh Colmcille, in Newtowncunningham, on Saturday night. 

The win keeps the South Donegal side in the running for promotion.

Ryan Brogan, in the first half and Aaron McGrory in second half, scored the goals for the winners, who led the tie from the first whistle to the last.

Eoin Flanagan scored the Naomh Colmcille goal and Hugh O’Donnell, Keelan Diver and Stephen Gallagher also kicked points for the locals.

Naomh Brid led 1-3 to 0-3 at half-time thanks to points from Cale Breslin and that Ryan Brogan goal just before the interval. 

The men from the south of the county moved further ahead on the resumption thanks to a second goal from the boot of McGrory.

However, Naomh Colmcille responded in a positive fashion with a well taken goal from Eoin Flanagan. And while the locals battled to the finish they had too much ground to make up.
