GAA: A superb brace of goals from Ryan Greene helped Dungloe to a vital home win over relegation rivals Bundoran at Rosses Park this evening.
In a fantastic free flowing game of football, Tony Boyle’s side narrowly edged out their seaside opposition on a scoreline of 2-13 to 2-11.
Dungloe got off to a blistering start and Luke Neely pointed after less than sixty minutes, then shortly after Greene netted the opener.
A long ball inside from Noel McBride was expertly broke by Conor Greene, his brother Ryan read the break and latched on to the ball to rifle home.
McBride then landed a huge point from distance to put Dungloe 1-02 to 0-00 after five minutes.
However, Bundoran were dogged throughout, and have some brilliant footballers, and came back at Dungloe and reeled off three points in quick succession.
Dungloe added further scores from Conor Greene, Shaun Sharkey and McBride again to go in at the interval leading 1-06 to 0-05.
Bundoran were given a lifeline early in the second-half, Jamie Brennan who was outstanding throughout dropped his effort short, but it was badly misjudged by Danny Rodgers and the ball trickled.
Bundoran then fired over a point to level the match, it was tit-for-tat after that with both sides exchanging scores in a highly entertaining game.
However, the big score came fifteen minutes from the end when the classy Ryan Greene showed outrageous pace to skip past his marker, before finishing with aplomb.
It was a big score, but again a resilient Bundoran kept knocking at the door, and tried valiantly to get on level terms.
Conor Greene and Ryan Greene added late scores to put Dungloe five ahead, but Jamie Brennan netted his second goal to give Bundoran hope.
But from the resulting kick-out, Jimmy White blew the full-time whistle and Dungloe moved a step closer to securing their Division One status.
Final score: Dungloe 2-13 Bundoran 2-11
