Influential Finn Harps player needed scan after injury - big concern for Donegal club ahead of new season

Injured again...Mark Timlin. Picture Stephen Doherty

Influential Finn Harps midfielder Mark Timlin had to be taken off with what appeared to be a serious injury as Finn Harps chalked up their first pre-season friendly success with a 3-2 win over UCD last weekend.

Timlin has had the misfortune to have picked up a number of injuries during his career that have limited his game-time, and he is unquestionably a key figure in the Harps set up.
