A third straight meeting in the group stages has produced the same outcome as Kiltane came away from Parke with a valuable two points.
Niall Treacy scored 1-7, with the other goals coming from Ciaran Treacy and All-Ireland winner Fenton Kelly, as Davitts set up a mouthwatering Round 2 tie with Moy Davitts with a big win over Lahardane.
Two goals apiece from Cian McHale and Brian Heneghan helped an impressive Moy Davitts saunter to a 23-point victory over Louisburgh.
It was a sobering return to intermediate football for Kiltimagh as Islandeady kept the Blues at arms reach for victory.
