RORY GALLAGHER, the Donegal manager, will be surveying the fitness of Frank McGlynn, who hobbled off for Glenfin at home to Four Masters yesterday.
Glenfin 1-10 Four Masters 4-13
The 2015 Donegal Player of the Year (pictured above with Sean Dunnion by Geraldine Diver) lasted just 17 minutes before departing with a hamstring injury having played for Donegal in a challenge match at Armagh on Saturday.
Four Masters, who lost their first outing in the AllSportStore.com All-County Football League Division 2 against Naomh Columba, have now won four on the bounce.
[adrotate group=”37″]Their first score yesterday was a goal, through a Dillon Muldoon punch following Karl Lacey’s long ball into the square.
McGlynn’s positive running – a feature of the first quarter – won a penalty for his side that was converted by Paddy O’Connor to put Glenfin in front by one, 1-4 to 1-3.
However, after McGlynn’s withdrawal, it was all Masters, who saw Patrick Reid and Dillon Ward score goals towards the end of the half for a healthy interval advantage, 3-9 to 1-4.
Darren Doherty added a fourth Masters goal towards the midpoint of the second half and Barry Monaghan also chipped in with three points from play, while O’Connor, who scored 1-6 in all, was Glenfin’s top scorer for the day.
