Burt 1-8 Gaeil Fhánada 2-11

A first-half goal by Shaun Kerr helped Gaeil Fhánada to lead 1-5 to 1-4 at half-time.

Burt burst from the blocks with Ciaran Bradley’s early goal having them 1-2 to 0-1 ahead at one stage.

The Fanad men settled, though, and with Bernard McGettigan, Kerr, Eoghan Carr and Brian McVeigh on the mark  it was the visitors who led by a point at the interval.

Burt hit the first four points of the second half to move into control, but Oisin Shiels’ brace kick-started a Fanad revival and Conor McGonigle’s goal helped secure a six-point win.
