Conor Greene and his brother Ryan scored the crucial goals that ensured Tony Boyle’s side have retained their Division One status for next season.
Dungloe knew a home win over St Eunan’s would be enough to secure their status for next season, and they deservedly got it in tough conditions against St Eunan’s.
Rosses Park was extremely soft due to the recent adverse weather over the last 48 hours, and conditions weren’t ideal for a free flowing game of football.
There was also a stiff breeze blowing right across the pitch, but it was the home side that settled the better and two early goals provided a platform that ultimately secured the vital win.
Ryan Greene scored from a free, before his brother Conor rifled home to give the home side a dream start.
St Eunan’s responded with two scores of their own, but David McGinley’s side were handed a hammer blow when Ryan Greene netted after good build-up play from Dungloe.
Both sides exchanged points before half-time, but Dungloe headed for changing rooms six points in the ascendancy on a score-line of 2-03 to 0-03.
The second-half followed a similar pattern to that of the first-half, with chances difficult to come about due to the difficult playing conditions.
St Eunan’s tried valiantly to get back into the game but couldn’t get the goals they needed to claw Dungloe back.
They kicked six second-half points, but Dungloe knocked over five themselves, to run out fairly comfortable winners on a score-line of Dungloe 2-08 St Eunan’s 0-09.
A great win for Dungloe, and they can now look forward to their Donegal SFC quarter-final against Malin on September 25th.
