They began well and when Declan Fullerton collected visiting keeper Stephen Hendry’s kick out he returned it to the net from 25 yards to give the home side a dream start.
Midway through the half good wrk by Matthew Henry for the visitors saw him feed Christy Hegarty and he fired a stunning effort to the top corner.

Minutes into the second half a brilliant James Henry effort from over 30 yards crashed back off the bar in a real let off for the home side.
But the home side rallied and equalised on 73 minutes when Bart Wesoloski was on hand to tap home after Henry had parried a Kevin O’Loughlin effort.
Buncrana sealed the points on 81 minutes when Stephen McHugh converted a penalty awarded after Wesoloski was upended in the area.
