Clubman Shirts League Cup Moville Celtic 2 Greencastle FC 2 In good conditions in front of a big crowd at the Bayfield, Greencastle took an early lead after a speculative Brenan Moore effort from twenty five yards deceived Taylor Clarke in the home goal.PLEASE CLICK ON THE ARROWS TO SEE THE CHARLIE O'DONNELL CUP REPORTSMoville settled and when a Jake Moran through ball looked like falling to Jack Mullan Greencastle keeper Conor Brown advanced to push the ball away. At the other end another Moore effort from distance was well saved by Clarke. Gerry Gill then found Michael Henry but he fired narrowly wide when well placed. Moville responded with Moran going close before they equalised on the stroke of half time after good work by Bradley Callaghan set up Moran to slot home from close range. The second half was a cagey affair. Greencastle’s Odhran Kennedy had a long range effort gathered by Clarke. The visitors took the lead after an hour when Michael Barrs long ball was parried by Clarke allowing Moore to bundle the ball home. Barr then had a great chance to extend their lead but his attempted lob sailed just over the bar. Moville salvaged a point in the final minute when good link up play between Michael McNaught and Norbert Indyka ended with McNaught firing past Brown to secure a draw and leave the group wide open. Buncrana Hearts 1Cockhill Youths 0 Cockhill had the first chance of the game on three minutes after a Garbhan Friel cross found Conor Allen but he headed well over the bar. Buncrana responded and in a similar chance Kieran Mc Daid s cross found Matthew Brown but he failed to hit the target. The home side opened the scoring on eight minutes after Paul McDaid found Christopher McKinley who laid the ball off to Sean Mullan to fire low past Eoin Colhoun. A superb back heel midway through the half from Mullan found McKinley but from eight yards his effort was well saved by the legs of Colhoun. Buncrana had more possession but found clear cut chances hard to come by. On 41 minutes

Charlie O Donnell CupCarn FC 0Redcastle United 2 There was little between the teams overall and a young Carn side will learn from the experience of playing at this level. The home side carried the greater threat early in the game and on 11 minutes Cian Burke pounced on a defensive error but failed to hit the target when well placed. The same player then had another clear sight of goal on 22 minutes but blazed over from fifteen yards. Redcastle grew into the game and took the lead on the half hour when a Brendan Murphy snapshot was well parried by Daniel McDaid but the ball fell to Darragh McConway who opened the scoring with a diving header. The second half saw defences on top with few chances at either end. Both Burke and Cade Cooke saw half chances well blocked by the visitors defence. Redcastle sealed the points late on when they earned a free kick on the edge of the area after a breakaway and Shaun Curran curled a superb effort around the wall and into the net to seal the victory. Gleneely Colts 0 Dunree United 6 Dunree opened their campaign with a resounding victory over a disappointing Colts side on Sunday afternoon with a Mark Moran hat trick the highlight of the game. Dunree began on the offensive pinning Gleneely into their own half while forcing a number of consecutive corners but failed to score in the early part of the game. Dunree opened the scoring in the 20th minute through a shot from Mark Moran from outside the box. Dunree kept the pressure scoring again in the 30th minute through Mark Moran with another shot into the bottom corner. Gleneely tried to respond but were caught out with a long ball over the top past the defence for Jamie Brosan to run onto and round the advancing keeper and slot home to an empty net. Bernie Doherty pounced again with another shot in the 43rd minute giving Dunree a four nil lead at half time. At the start of the second half again Gleneely failed to clear giving Bernard Doherty the opportunity to score the fifth goal for Dunree. Gleneely
