Malin got off to the best possible start in the Banks with a goal and a point in the opening four minutes.

Naomh Muire had the better of the play in the second half but were more wasteful when opportunities to put the game beyond Malin’s reach , were presented. The home side played some impressive direct football but in a tight tie, missed chances eventually cost them both points.
Naomh Muire led by three points with 12 minutes remaining but a Malin goal brought the Inishowen men back into a game they looked like losing. Malin then went an point ahead before a Darragh White free equalised and gave Naomh Muire a share of the points in a game they let slip.
Brendan Mc Laughlin with a score of 0-5 was an constant threat in the Malin attack and for the home side Jack Boyle at 18 years of age was a impressive half back sweeping up possession and driving forward at every chance.
