The league campaign opened with a 0-14 to 1-9 home victory over Borris-Ileigh. MacDonaghs led by two points at the break on a 0-6 to 0-4 scoreline but had to come from behind to claim victory. It was a war of attrition from the start with a less than friendly surface and the sparing use of the whistle making it difficult for both sides. MacDonaghs, playing with the aid of the light breeze, had the better of matters in the first half but spurned a number of chances to raise a green flag. In the second half Borris-Ileigh edged two points ahead when they scored the only goal of the game in the 37th minute. MacDonaghs showed great resolve to hang in and eventually carve out a narrow victory. Team: Conor Doheny, Bob Dooley, Pat Williams, Stephen Cleary, Conor Austin, Declan Barrett (0-1), Cormac Williams, Liam Gibson, Caoilainn Conroy, Eoin Williams (0-2), Paddy Ryan (0-4), Conor Cleary (0-2), Niall Shinners (0-2), Mark O’Meara (0-1) and Cormac Mannion. Subs: Pat Conway (0-2) and Finnian Mannion.
