The final piece of drama saw Donegal Town snatch a win when the Oldtown Keeper Gibson was sent off for a foul outside the box and the resulting free kick was bundled home after Oldtown failed to clear. A great spectacle for everyone in attendance with team performances from both sides.
Strand Rovers 3 v 1 Arranmore United
Both teams started off strongly in Strand Park with a strong wind at the back of the Arranmore boys. The Strand boys had a few good shots on target but the Arran keeper pulled off some great saves. Shane O’ Donnell then played the ball to David Mc Carron who’s shot was saved but rebounded to David Sweeney who slipped it past the visiting keeper.

It took Strand Rovers a while to get back into the game until a free kick taken by James McCole was saved by the keeper. The rebound was headed against the crossbar by Shane O Donnell and then Matthew O’ Donnell volleyed the second rebound to the back of the net.

Cranford had to come from behind in the second half to get a deserved victory. The home side were out of the blocks quick and took the lead after 15 minutes through Paddy Mc Geever.
Cranford were dominating play and should have extended their lead. They were made pay for their misses as Gweedore equalised before half-time from a free kick. Gweedore took the lead a few minutes into the second half from a quick counter attack.

Brian Mc Cormick Sports Premier Division
Castlefin Celtic 2 v 2 Bonagee United
Castlefin and Bonagee played out a 2-2 draw in blustery conditions in Castlefin. In a poor game the visitors had an early opportunity, a Jordan Gallagher penalty that crashed off the post.
The hosts took the lead when Marty Owens kept alive a corner kick and Aaron O” Hagan headed home. Bonagee managed to win another penalty and this time Gallagher made no mistake from 12 yards.
The second half started in frantic fashion, two goals scored within five minutes. Firstly, Bonagee’s Aidan Mc Laughlin prodded home an Aaron Wasson cross and then Mark Lafferty poked home after good work from Sean Ferry and Emmett White.
The remainder of the game saw very few clear-cut chances, Mc Laughlin going closest for the visitors, Barry Tourish for the hosts.
Fanad United 2 v 2 Rathmullan Celtic
Fanad United and Rathmullan Celtic played out a highly entertaining 2-2 draw in this local derby played at Traigh-a-Loch on Sunday. It was the proverbial game of two halves as Rathmullan dominated the 1st half and went into the break 2-0 up.
They had a chance to open the scoring in the 5th minute when Kevin O’Donnell shot wide when well placed. Their pressure paid off in the 25th minute when Reggie Miller reacted quickest to a breaking ball from a corner and fired home.
Two minutes later they extended their lead when Mark Mc Ateer outpaced the Fanad defence and finished low into the bottom corner. Five minutes later Mc Ateer missed a gilt-edge chance to get his second when he headed wide from an Eoin Sheridan cross.
Fanad started to pile on the pressure in the second half without creating many clear chances. Their pressure did however pay off in the 65th minute when they pulled a goal back. When a Liam Mc Grenaghan corner broke to Seimi Friel he fired a lovely shot home from just inside the box.
In the 75th minutes Fanad almost equalised in bizarre circumstances. When a long free was sent into the box Rathmullan centre half Kieran Gorman flicked the ball on and forced his own keeper Shaun Gallagher into a super save. Fanad kept on the constant pressure and were rewarded for their efforts with an equaliser in the 90th minute.
When Darren Mc Elwaine floated a cross into the box, Eddie O’Reilly showed superb skill to control the ball and fire home. Referee: Liam Mc Laughlin
Glenea United 0 v 3 Kilmacrennan Celtic
Reigning champions Kilmacrennan Celtic were the visitors to a windy Pairc Joe. Kilmacrennan playing against the wind in the first half settled first with Chris Dillon having a snapshot on goal.
After some early pressure on the home side Kilmacrennan got the breakthrough in the 25th minute after good work down the right and the ball was crossed to the back post for Dillon to head home.
The home side slowly got back into it with a couple of half chances falling to Lee O’ Brien. Ryan Shields almost created an opening for himself with a mazy run through the heart of the home defence with the final ball falling to the arms of Joe Coll.
Dillon again had an effort just before half time which was well saved by Coll. From the resultant corner the away side doubled their lead with Shields rising highest to head home. Martin Maguire had a good opportunity to pull one back before the interval but his effort went wide.
The second half had a couple of stoppages due to a head injury. Glenea tried to get back into the game but couldn’t break down a well organised Kilmacrennan side.
O’Brien had a couple chances but Kilmacrennan pulled off some good last ditch blocks. Caolan Kelly finished the scoring just before the final whistle, tapping home from close range. Referee: Mick Lagan
Keadue Rovers 4 v 1 Kildrum Tigers
Keadue Rovers continued their excellent home form with this comprehensive and deserved win at Central Park in horrible conditions with strong winds and heavy rain.
The game started at a hectic pace with both teams going at it full throttle. The strong wind favoured the hosts in the first half with Peter Mc Gee to the fore with some good runs. Mark Forker had a free kick just over the bar but their good start was rewarded on sixteen minutes when an Aidan Mc Hugh free kick went to the net with the aid of a deflection.
It was a deserved lead but only lasted five minutes. An upfield ball from Kildrum brought about a mistimed Keadue tackle in the box and a penalty was awarded. Up stepped Dylan Browne to finish well for 1-1. Keadue responded very well though, going straight on the attack and only a few minutes later they were 2-1 up when Peter Mc Gee unleashed a fantastic effort from 25 yards low to the net.
The pace was still very impressive from both teams at half time with the scoreline remaining the same. Into the second half and with the wind well down on the first half it was replaced by heavy rain and as a result, the game was a bit scrappier.
Kildrum, in the first minute of the second half produced a great move which resulted in their forward going straight in on goal only for Bonner to save.
This proved to be a vital patch in the match as just after fifty-five minutes had gone, following a good Keadue move on the left, Brian Proctor was quickest to react in a crowded box to fire home from close range for 3-1 to Keadue.
The home team were well on top at this stage and could’ve been further ahead only for a couple of good Kildrum clearances. Fresh legs off the Keadue bench made a big difference in the closing twenty minutes when they dictated the game.
On seventy-five minutes a fine run up the right wing by Mark Forker led to a finish in the box by substitute Luke Neely for 4-1.
To their credit Kildrum never gave up and kept working to the end but it was all to no avail against a confident home outfit who ran out convincing winners.
A good team performance from Kildrum while best for Keadue were Aidan Mc Hugh, Peter Mc Gee, Mark Forker and Chris Greene.
Referee: Gerald Devine.
St. Catherines 2 v 1 Cappry Rovers
Allister Gourley got proceedings underway at Emerald Park and we only had to wait nine minutes for our first goal. Paddy Mc Nulty latched onto a ball over the Saints’ defence and drove with purpose into the box and sent a right foot shot low past the home keeper.
It didn’t take long for St. Catherines to reply with a flowing move down the left and a beautifully flighted cross from the left by Kyle Mc Geoghan that found Daniel Breslin in space in the middle of the visitor’s box.
He made no mistake with the headed finish. From then until the end of the half the crowd was entertained by nice possession football from both teams but football that never really tested either keeper.
The Saints seemed to control the game better at the start of the second half with an excellent chance falling to Josh Maxwell but he could only find the side netting where a ball across the box to unmarked Saints’ players may have been better advised.
Josh kept probing and his reward came on 63 minutes as he found himself driving into the box after a misplaced header from the visiting centre half and his quick low right-foot strike from an acute angle eventually crept over the line.
Conor Mc Daid was doing his best in the middle of the field for Cappry and kept pushing his team on which resulted in a few half chances for Jack Burke Mc Bride as he came close with volleys from the edge of the box.
The back-line for St. Catherines held firm with all four across the back having an excellent game including Odhran Mc Guinness sticking like glue to Paddy Mc Nulty where he restricted the big Cappry centre forward to half chances. Excellent game of football played in a very sporting manner by both teams.
Temple Domestic Appliances Division One
Drumkeen United 1 v 3 Convoy Arsenal
Convoy Arsenal were the visitors to St Patrick’s Park, Drumkeen on Sunday Afternoon. The visitors made the better start in this game and dominated the opening 20 minutes.
For All their domination they didn’t create a lot of goal scoring opportunities except for a long-range effort which Drumkeen Goalkeeper Luke Mc Gee did well to push over the bar. Drumkeen gradually began to work their way into the game and were getting into the Convoy half of the pitch more often.
It was on one such occasion that Drumkeen made the breakthrough and probably against the run of play found themselves a goal ahead. Lee Guthrie was in possession of the ball when he was fouled inside the box and Referee Eamonn Mc Conigley pointed to the penalty spot.
There was only going to be one man taking the resultant penalty and Guthrie himself stepped up and calmly slotted it home. Convoy responded well to falling behind and nearly got back on level terms a little later but Luke Mc Gee made a point blank save from a Paddy Dolan header.
Dolan also had long range effort which struck the Drumkeen post and near half time another Convoy effort went just wide of the Drumkeen post. Drumkeen managed to weather the storm and hang on to their lead until half time.
Convoy started the second half strongly and Drumkeen found themselves under the cosh again. Justin Deasley had a fine first half at left back and was doing well against Ronan Carlin so it was a blow to Drumkeen when he had to go off early in the second half.
Drumkeen definitely missed Deasley’s ability and experience and as the second half wore on a Convoy equaliser looked inevitable. The equaliser duly arrived when Luke Harkin, out on the right wing, fired in what looked like a cross which ended up in the back of the net.
Whether it was a cross or a shot only he will know and no doubt will claim it was a shot and why wouldn’t he. Convoy were in Control again and Luke Mc Gee had to make a good save from a Ronan Carlin effort to keep his side level.
The Convoy pressure eventually paid off and they added a second goal through Jimmy O’ Donnell who had come on as a Substitute.
Drumkeen then brought on veteran Niall Bonner for the last 20 minutes and it seemed to make a difference as they were getting into a few good positions again and creating a bit more in the Convoy half.
At 2-1 there was always a chance they could get an equaliser but then Paddy Dolan killed off their hopes when he added a third with a strong run at the Drumkeen defence before firing the ball past the advancing Luke Mc Gee.
There was to be no way back now for the home team and their long wait for a win this season continues. This was a local Derby played in a good sporting manner.
Gweedore Celtic 3 v 0 Raphoe Town
Played in windy conditions the home team collected all three points in an entertaining contest. The home team played against the wind and adapted better to the conditions.
The Raphoe defence and goalkeeper Aaron Hepburn were busy dealing with the runs of Thomas Diver and Cian Mc Bride but there was nothing they could do with the opening goal after seventeen minutes.
A four man move involving Breathnach, Mc Bride, Mc Fadden and Diver ended with Mac Niallais bursting through the Raphoe defence to score in the top corner.
Gweedore had further chances through Cian Mc Bride and Thomas Diver but were denied by good goalkeeping by Hepburn. Raphoe almost equalised on the stroke of half time when D.J. Kelly saw his effort cleared off the line by Thomas Diver.
The second half saw the home team on the front foot for long periods and they scored two quick goals midway through the half.
Odhran Mac Niallais drilled a low drive to the net from thirty yards and Thomas Diver’s pile driver from twenty yards, after good work by Ryan Greene, gave the keeper no chance.
In the final minutes Liam Mc Fadden and Caolan Laux had chances to extend Na Ceiltigh’s lead but both wasted their opportunities. Referee: Sean Ferry

As Deele pushed for an equaliser, Lagan hit the home side on the break. A long ball from the Lagan keeper found Matthew Doran who raced clear to seal the three points. Team Performances.
Drumoghill F.C. 5 v 0 Lifford Celtic
Drumoghill maintained their push for promotion with this convincing win over Lifford Celtic. Karol Mc Ginley and Liam O’ Donnell helped themselves to a brace apiece with Dylan Mc Elhinney also on target in what was a comfortable afternoon for the reds.
The game began with Lifford defending against a strong wind which helped Drumoghill start on the front foot. Colm Gardiner and Ciaran Hunter were in control in midfield and used their dominance to help find space on the flanks for Lee Smith and Karol McGinley and it was from one such move that Mc Ginley fired his side into the lead on 15 minutes.
The home side remained on top throughout the first half and doubled their lead when Dylan Mc Elhinney rose highest to head past Anthony Crossan shortly before half time.
Lifford, with the wind in their backs, came more into the game in the second half through the lively Kevin Lynch and Adam Murphy but were hit on the counter when Conor Doohan sidestepped his way past Gavin Boyle to send Karol Mc Ginley clear for his second of the game on 59 minutes.

Whitestrand United 0 v 1 Cranford United
Whitestrand welcomed league leaders Cranford FC to Mc Garvey Park in the Donegal Physiotherapy & Performance Centre Division Two. Cranford were previously unbeaten having won their first five league matches of the new season.
Whitestrand had a confidence boosting win against Dunkineely the previous week and went into this game with some belief. The game was very tight at the start with not many clear-cut chances.
Cranford had large swathes of possession but a well organised Whitestrand meant much of their play was from long balls and Whitestrand were dealing with these easily.
Whitestrand almost hit Cranford on the break when Charlie Crerand won the ball from the high press and shot from halfway. Unfortunately, it went narrowly wide with the goalkeeper scrambling. The first half remained scoreless.
The second half followed a similar pattern to the first. Whitestrand were well organised and playing exceptionally well against the league leaders.
Cranford however were beginning to put more pressure on as Whitestrand stood firm. The game was decided in the 90 h minute when a corner came in and Christopher Carr scored with a header at the back post.
It was unfortunate for Whitestrand who defended well, with a particular mention to Cormac Shovlin who again was excellent at the back. Cranford maintained their 100% start to the new season.
