THERE have been goals galore in the Senior Championship final between Glenswilly and Killybegs in Ballbofey this afternoon.
Glenswilly raced into an early lead as Ireland International Rules captain Michael Murphy showed no hangover from yesterday’s game against Australia to score after just 15 seconds with a superb point.
And he added a second a few minutes later after winning the ball and taking a foul in the process – sticking the free over the bar.
Murphy was going for a hat-trick of scores a short time later but ended up on the ground clutching his ankle.
Killybegs finally responded – with a fortunate goal.
Christopher Murrin sent in a high ball, O’Donnell misjudged and the ball ended up in the back of the net.
Murphy did get his hat-trick a short time later – from the penalty spot, sticking the ball away.
Killybegs went ahead again however; this time Hugh McFadden fisting to the back of the net – 2-0 to to Murphy’s 1-02.
Murphy was on the end of some heavy challenges, and ended up being yellow carded himself as the game became scrappy.
Half time: Glenswilly 1-07, Killybegs 2-03 – Glen one point ahead.
