Watch: Back from Oz for brother's wedding, Greene strikes dramatic Dungloe winner

Seven minutes into injury time at Moyle View Park, with Milford level against Dungloe, Dessie Gallagher gave his last throw of the dice an instruction.

Conor Greene hadn’t played senior football in four years and he and his manager Gallagher had seen Milford produce an unlikely comeback late on to come from four points down to get back on terms after a belting goal from Luke Barrett and then a point from Cathal McGettigan.

Oisin Bonner’s free in the ninth minute of injury-time from the left was dropping just short into a clutter of players and it was Greene who got the decisive touch to send it over the bar and seal a 0-14 to 1-10 win for Dungloe on their return to the Donegal SFC. Within seconds match referee Stephen Doherty blew for full-time. If Carlsberg did comebacks  ... 

“With a few injuries they asked me to go on the bench for the seniors and on I went,” Greene said afterwards. “Dessie told me to go and make a nuisance of myself and when we got the free I headed for the edge of the square and managed to get a fist on it and it flew over.

“It was a crazy finish and if that goal and point from Milford didn’t come then I probably wouldn’t have got on at all! We had let them back in and I got the chance to come on then.”

Greene has been working as a civil engineer and has been based in Sydney, Australia, for four years. His last appearance for Dungloe’s senior footballers was when they clawed their way out of the relegation play-offs in 2019 against Ardara.

He has been home three weeks ahead of his brother Stephen’s wedding next month and is due to go back Down Under in three more weeks.

“Depends on how we are going ...” he said. “I was supposed to come back home in May but with work and everything it was later then. I knew it would be in and around championship so I just told the lads I’d be back and would play reserve or senior - whatever they wanted - I just wanted to play a bit of ball.

“I have always followed how things are going from Sydney and since I left Dungloe got relegated and then played in two Intermediate finals, winning last year. You can watch on all you want but ‘nothing beats being there’ as they say. It was great just to even be here. I plan to go back to Australia for another year or so but Dungloe will always be home to me.”
