Lyit depleted by sickness and injuries started slowly and after 10 minutes were down 1.03 to a point.
From then on Lyit began to get control of midfield as Conor Harkin (Burt) David Whyte (Mac Cumhaills) took over.
Great scores from Sean McVeigh(St Eunan’s) and Conor Canty (Mayo) brought Lyit back into the game and approaching half time Lyit had created a six point lead only for Coleraine to score a goal right on half time to cut their deficit to three points.
Coleraine started well in the second half cutting lyit lead to a single point. Lyit began to tire as Coleraine threw in fresh legs.
Lyit then lost their Centre back to a second yellow card but this revitalized the Letterkenny lads. Lyit fought for every ball. The full and half back line won ball after ball with Bernard McMenamin (Mac Cumhaills) and Mark Diver (Carndonagh) prominent.
Brilliant scores from mc Veigh and Canty kept Lyit in the lead. Coleraine battled gamely throughout but desperate last ditch tackling from the full back line prevented them from scoring the goal they required. Lyit now play university of Ulster Magee in the Semifinal details to be confirmed.
