Jarlath Mannion was the star for Cappataggle on Saturday evening as he struck 2-4 in his team’s first victory in Duggan Park. 

Alan Dolan and Donal Mannion were also on the scoreboard as last year’s semi-finalists ran out 2-14 to 1-15 winners over Loughrea.

Loughrea were down to 14 men after Sean Sweeney was sent off but they did get a late Joe Mooney goal to create a grandstand finish but fell just two points short at the finish.
