Super Glenswilly capture C Championship to round off brilliant week!

Glenswilly’s third team capped off a super week for the club when they beat Naomh Chonail of Glenties in the C county championship final at O’Donnell Park this afternoon.

The Glen men were cruising at half time thanks in part to a Johnny McGinley goal and led 1-4 to 0-0 as Naomh Chonail, with four wides, just couldn’t find the target.

But Glenties stuck to their task and turned the game on its head in the second half as they chipped away at Glenswilly’s lead.

Points from Maitis MaCealbhui, Jono Molloy, Eoin Molloy and Kieran McHugh brought Glenties right back into it.

But Glenswilly were given some breathing space when Dermot McGinley grabbed what proved to be Glen’s only second half point.

It was enough to keep a bit of daylight between the sides.

Glenties were thrown a lifeline when Mickey McDaid, who had enjoyed a great game throughout, was red carded for Glenswilly.

But Glenties just couldn’t puncture the Glen rearguard after that.

A super interception by Glenswilly goalkeeper Charlie McGrenra had the Glen support in cheers as they hung on for another famous victory.
