Four Masters and Dungloe set for league showdown

By Michael McMullan

FOUR Masters will aim to go one better than last season when they take on Dungloe in the Division One final on Saturday in Glenties.

The Donegal Town side were beaten in last year’s decider by Termon, who pushed Naomh Conaill all the way in the quarter-final of the Senior Championship.

The weekend’ league showpiece will be preceded by the reserve final between Four Masters and St Eunan’s.

Dungloe were Division Two champions last season and have made the step up after a consistent campaign in the top flight.

Four Masters will be without county panelists Kevin Muldoon, Turlough and Seanán Carr who are spending the summer in the US.

When the sides met back in May in the league, Dungloe were on the wrong end of a 5-18 to 3-9 defeat.

Oisin Doherty scored two goals, while Tomás Carr, Patrick Reid and Tiarnan McBride also hit the net for Four Masters.

Dungloe finished this season’s league with a 2-19 to 2-10 win over neighbours Naomh Mhuire thanks to goal from Matthew Ward and Aaron Neely.

Four Masters were 1-15 to 0-10 winners over Sean MacCumhaills last weekend. Thomas Lenehan hit the net for the only game in the first half. It separated the teams before the winners pulled clear.

With the race for the Dr Maguire Cup coming down the tracks, 15 teams looking to down champions Naomh Conaill.

Before that, Saturday’s game offers the chance to add silverware to their preparations.
