Malin still 100 percent in Division 2 with notable win at Dungloe
The Inishowen side are four from four thanks to Conor O'Neill's goal sealing a narrow win on the road at Rosses Park against Dungloe
Dungloe’s promotion hopes suffered a major setback as they lost at home to a 100 percent Malin side in Rosses Park on Saturday.
Dungloe 0-8
Malin 1-6
As the final scoreline suggests, defences were very much on top in what was a close encounter throughout. Malin are one of the form teams in Division 2 and playing very defensively, they eked out a one-point win.
Lively corner-forward Conor O’Neill scored the crucial goal in the first half to send the Inishowen men to the dressing 1-2 to 0-3 in front at the half-time break.
Malin have won all four outings and are second only to Gael Fhanada in the league table on score difference following wins over Downings, Sean MacCumhaill’s, St Mary’s, Convoy, and now Dungloe.
