In Regional 1, Donegal II arrived to play Rainey III with only thirteen men, going down 68 - 17.  They did well to open the scoring, but had their line crossed seven times before the interval.  In a curtailed second period, they added two more tries while Rainey got three. Scorers for Rainey were Aidan McSwiggan(3) , Philip McCusker(2) , Ciaran Devlin(2), Conor McSwiggan, Dermot Shaw and Ryan McGuigan. Nine of the tries were converted by Ryan McGuckin.
