Defeat for Bonagee leaves them six points behind Letterkenny, with two more games played. Stephen McConnell's Letterkenny have four to play, so a win at Rathmullan Celtic at Flagpole Park on Sunday will be enough to take the title to Leckview. It will be their third league title in four seasons, having won Division 2 in 2021/22 and Division 1 last season. 

Letterkenny are currently on 38 points from 14 games, with Bonagee out of the running on 32 from 16 and Kildrum Tigers - the only other side who can still win the title - are third with 28 from 14. Letterkenny Rovers and Kildrum, who drew both their Premier Division clashes 0-0 this term, are due to meet in the final of the Ulster Junior Cup.
