Cockram bags a hat-trick as Garvey win in Donegal
A mid-week match in Donegal is always going to be difficult but Garvey were into their stride quickly and were four goals ahead at the interval.
Raphoe did score early in the second half but goals by Timmy Cockram (3), Daniel Buser, James Dowling , Greg Thompson and the returning Jason Lynch saw them through to a more than comfortable win.
