Cookstown held off a late fightback, after leading 1-9 to 0-6, but had enough to get over the line.

Meanwhile, in the Leinster Hurling Championship, Corn Uí Dhúill, St Kieran’s Kilkenny were too strong for Dublin school Coláiste Eoin, winning 3-18 to 2-10. Goals from Donagh Murphy, Rory Glynn and Sean Hunt set St Kieran’s on their way.
