Donegal Youth League previews

Letterkenny Rovers v Glenea United.
Glenea start their defence of the Colm Breslin cup with the toughest possible test away to high flying Rovers at the Aura centre. Glenea start the new year in fine form a run of 4 consecutive wins ( including a 2-1 win over Rovers), propelled them back into title contention. Letterkenny under Liam O’ Donnell are enjoying a good season themselves and bar that defeat at Glassaroo are unbeaten in all competitions, and are also in the John Curran cup final. This game coming directly after the Christmas break means form is hard to establish and it will probably come down to who wants it most on the day. Glenea won’t give up without a fight but might just find ‘the Rovers’ to hot to handle.

Donegal Junior league soccer reports

Fintown Harps 2 Glencar Celtic 2

In calm but wet conditions in the Comp field in Glenties, Fintown started the brightest with John “Broc” having a good chance two minutes into the game to give Fintown the early lead. Anthony W also had a shot at goal on the 10th minute that marginally went left and wide. Glencar then got into the game and were unlucky to score on the 20th minute JP in the Fintown goal saving well. S.Boyle then had a chance coming very close to half time where he was one on one with the Glencar keeper but just hit it slightly to far to the left and went wide. Glencar then broke the deadlock just before half time with a good goal putting the away team one up.

Second half was much the same but with Fintown being rewarded with a penalty after a hand ball in the box. A.Walsh stood up to take the shot and scored well making it all level in Glenties. Glencar scored again with 10 minutes on the clock after a corner kick, the Fintown keeper unlucky as he had a hand on it. Fintown pushed hard for the equaliser and it came from Shuan from a great cross in by E.Molloy to find Shaun unmarked and he headed it into the back of the net leaving it all level.

Team performance by both.
