Glencar Inn Saturday Division One
Kildrum Tigers Reserves 3-0 Swilly Rovers Reserves
Three second half goals made the difference for Kildrum Tigers against Swilly Rovers.
In a tight first half, Kildrum struggled to get going against a strong breeze and Swilly had the better of the chances.  In the second half, Kildrum started better, after a couple of changes one of the subs Ethan Coll scored with a strike from distance.  
The game opened-up following that and Conor Friel got their second.  With five minutes remaining the Tigers got a penalty when Colhoun was brought down and he stepped up and tucked the penalty away.

Keadue Rovers Reserves 5-1 Arranmore United
Keadue Reserves opened their league account with this win over local rivals Arranmore United at a blustery and damp Central Park on Saturday with Oran Fallon hitting a treble. 
Oran Fallon gave Keadue the lead when following a good passing move on the edge of the area Fallon hit home at the near post on twenty minutes. On twenty-eight minutes Arranmore were level and their play deserved it, when following a mix-up between keeper and defence the ball fell to Tommy Mc Indewar and he prodded home from close range. 
On fifty minutes, Keadue regained the lead when a pass found Jordan Saville and he made room for himself twenty-five yards out before rifling home a fine effort to the bottom corner for 2-1.
 Further strikes for Fallon and Saville should've yielded a further gap for Keadue but after that, the game became very scrappy and with an injury to an Arranmore player, this held up the play, not helping the visitor’s cause. Two further subs for Keadue and some positional changes helped the home side and on eighty-four minutes, Evan Mc Fadden found some space on the edge of the area and rifled home for 3-1. In the eighty-eighth minute Oran Fallon rounded the keeper nicely to tap into the corner of the net and in injury time, Fallon completed his hat-trick with a volley from inside the box.
 
Donegal Town Reserves  2-0 Ramelton Mariners
Donegal Town came out on top in a keenly fought encounter against newly promoted Ramelton, with Niko Dominick scoring a cracker on his first league appearance for the club. 
Town dominated the opening exchanges and deservedly took the lead on the 34th minute when Dermot Slevin chased a lost cause and nipped in front of the keeper and slotted home from the narrowest of angles. Niko Dominick made it two when he received the ball from 30 yards out, turned smartly evading two defenders and knocked the ball past Mariners’ keeper. 
Ramelton will take heart from their second half display, Donegal happy to get their first win of the season. Mc Crea, Aidan Mc Hugh and Joe Stitt were the stand out players for the Town

Strand Rovers 1-0 St Catherines Reserves
Ethan McCaffery scored the only goal of the game as Strand Rovers gor the better of St Catherine’s.
The Killybegs men had a few good chances and should have been leading but it was McCaffery who was to get the only goal of the game in the 25th minute when the ever-green Brendan Glackin took a quick throw-in and found Ethan free in the middle of the box, he took full advantage and finished across the keeper into the far corner. 
Strand had the better of the chances for the rest of the first half but the scoreline stayed 1-0 at half time. The second half was mainly uneventful. Ryan Brennan and Lennon Cowley both went close to extending the lead but neither managed to find the net.

Dmytro Serhieiev with two, made up the home side’s total. Gallagher again struck a sweet shot inside the far post. Erne struck back again and went 4-2 up. 

Cappry Rovers Reserves 2-0 Castlefin Celtic Reserves
Cappry Reserves got their first win of the season in an entertaining contest against Castlefin Reserves. 
Cappry broke the deadlock from a dangerous delivery from Shaun Ward, missed everyone and found its way into the net. Cappry started brightly in the second half, Jack Marley and Matthew Wootton having great chances to double the lead. Castlefin continued to push for an equaliser and were threatening from set pieces but the Cappry defence stood up to the challenge. Cappry secured the victory through Niall Ryan who tapped home an Odhran O’ Connor cross to give the home side all three points. 

Drumoghill F.C. Reserves 2-2 Fintown Harps AFC
The Reds secured another draw to maintain their unbeaten start to the season thanks to Christy Smith's late equaliser at The Moss. 
Smith took advantage of a mix-up in the Fintown rearguard to nudge the ball home in the final minute to rescue a point for Drumoghill. The visitors twice took the lead. Shane McDevitt had given them a first half lead before Keith Davis levelled for the Reds. However, Fintown regained the lead through Kealan Mc Monagle and it was a lead that looked likely to be decisive. That was until Smith's late leveller which means a point each for both sides. 

Glenea United Reserves 3-2 Letterkenny Rovers Reserves
Glenea United came out on top in a competitive contest against Letterkenny Rovers, with Patrick Doohan scoring from two goals direct from corners. 
Glenea took the lead on 20 minutes when Doohan’s corner deceived everyone and ended up in the net. They extended their lead on 35 minutes when Doohan repeated his trick of scoring direct from a corner. 
In the second it was the away side that started brightly, and they pulled a goal back on 48 minutes when Jason Doherty fired past Mathew Ryder. Just as it looked like Rovers were going to equalise, the home side extended their lead when, after good work by Christopher Barrett down the right, his cross was turned in by Seamus Doogan at the back post. Rovers eventually pulled a goal back on 82 minutes when an Artem Tymoshchenko effort from the edge of the box found the bottom corner. 

Kilmacrennan Celtic Reserves 2-0 Gweedore Celtic Reserves
Kilmacrennan Celtic posted a two-goal win over Gweedore Celtic under the lights at Letterkenny Community Centre.
After a scoreless first half. Kilmacrennan emerged a rejuvenated team in the second and were on the front foot from the off, forcing Gweedore to defend deep for long spells. With an hour gone they hit the front, a delightful ball over the top from Eoghan Quinn picked out the run of Hall and the lively winger made no mistake firing low into the far corner. With five minutes remaining Kilmacrennan sealed the points, this time Quinn turned goalscorer as he timed his run into the box to perfection and finished first time to the net to give the home team their first points of the new season.

Fanad United continued their winning start to Saturday League Division Three with a 4-0 victory over Cranford United Reserves at Traigh-a-Loch on Saturday. 
On the stroke of half time, Fanad got their first goal. After a corner the ball fell to right back Oisin McHugh whose shot found its way into the bottom corner.  Just minutes into the second half, Fanad extended their lead. Darragh O' Doherty advanced from left back and after beating three players his through ball to Dylan Mc Bride who made no mistake firing home. After the hour mark Fanad added a third goal. Sub Shane Carr did very well down the left and his cross to fellow sub Niall Toland was headed home. Then on 70 minutes Fanad scored their fourth and final goal. Centre half Seimi Friel won possession in the centre circle and advanced up the field and after a neat one-two with Niall Toland, Friel produced an accomplished finish into the bottom corner.

They took the lead on sixty-nine minutes when Killian Mc Bride rose to head into the far corner. Lagan keeper Kai Brown pulled off two good saves while Milford also struck the post.  Milford were awarded a penalty in the last minute for a foul and Niall Murray converted.
