Burt had too much power and panache for Buncrana in a well-fought Inishowen derby in the Donegal SHC at The Scarvey on Monday.

Buncrana 0-17

Burt 1-26

Burt led by 0-14 to 0-6 at half time with Liam Óg McKinney, Ronan McDermott, Christopher McDermott, Ciaran Brady, Jack Gallaghr and Callum Purves all on target.

For a pretty outgunned home side, marksman Caolan O’Neill, the hard-working Jack O’Loughlin and Dylan Duffy replied.

Buncrana improved after the break and hit 0-11-but Burt replied with 1-12 to seal a well-deserved victory.

Ronan McDermott got the goal and was among the points scorers also as they cruised to victory.
