At the other end of the table, Aughnamullen edged out Drumhowan to get their first win of the season and draw level with the Geraldines, while Cremartin moved clear of the relegation zone with a double-scores defeat of Inniskeen, which was helped by early goals from Kevin Brennan and Kevin Atkinson.
