It was a busy yet successful weekend for the club’s senior and reserve teams, as both kicked off their league campaigns with a double fixture weekend.
Things got underway in Buncrana on Good Friday evening with both teams getting off to winning starts. The seniors ran out 2-04 to 0-15 winners in the end with a little thanks to a Michael Murphy masterclass. Murphy kicked a total of 13 points in the game while Caolan ‘Savi’ McFadden and Caolan Kelly added a point each to the scoreboard.
Meanwhile, the reserves battled to a 0-8 to 0-5 victory in their game to round off a very satisfactory day for the Glen. Less than 48 hours later both teams were in action again, this time travelling to a fairly blustery McCumhaill Park to take on the men from the Twin Towns. The reserves started proceedings by gaining a well deserved point after coming from behind very late in the game, with the final score being 1-2 to 0-5. As the Spirit of Freedom Band drummed through the streets of Stranorlar, Michael Murphy continued to show an immense spirit of his own ‘drumming’ over a total of 5 points for the seniors in what proved to be a straightforward 0-02 to 0-12 win for Gary McDaid’s charges. Fellow county man Gary ‘Copper’ McFadden managed 4 points of his own in the game while Glenswilly’s other scores came from the feet of Caolan Kelly (0-02) and Darren McGinley (0-01). Both teams can take a great amount of pride in what was a demanding weekend, as the Glen lie on top of both the Division 2 and Division 2 Reserve leagues.
