Down secured their place in the semi-finals of Dr McKenna Cup after with a dominant 2-14 to 1-10 win over Donegal in Newry.
In what was Conor Laverty’s first home game in charge of the Mourne men, Liam Kerr and Conor Francis supplied the goals to lead their team towards a second win in four days.
Both goals came in the first-half for the hosts while Pat Havern weighed in with 0-5 from play, which was matched at the other by Paddy McBrearty (four frees).
Jamie Brennan had set-up Daire O Baoill for a palmed goal 10 minutes in but Down had the answer and took in a deserved 2-9 to 1-7 half-time lead before kicking on for the 10-point win.
