Report
Moville started this game well on top and in the early exchanges Michael Coyle had an effort blocked by the rovers defence before Glen Watson saved well to deny both Finn McLaughlin and Conor Doherty. Rovers replied and when Conor Gallagher laid the ball back to Graham Morgan his effort was well held by Liam Grimley in the home goal.Moville resumed control after this and when Billy McCann found Michael McNaught his effort was brilliantly blocked by Gary Doherty. Moville broke the deadlock on 22 minutes when McCann broke into the right hand area and drilled a low angled effort across Watson to the far corner.Watson then denied Conor Doherty twice before the same player blasted over when under pressure before they added a second on 38 minutes. McCann was upended and Charlie Gill converted the spot kick blasting straight down the middle.Before the break Watson kept his side in the hunt with excellent saves to deny McCann,Gill and Doherty in quick succession.
Moville started well and made it three nil on 47 minutes when Coyle and Gillcombined to release Doherty who rounded Watson to slot home. Rovers replied and when Puaric Doherty had an effort blocked the rebound fell to Morgan who fed Doherty but he fired into the side netting.At the other end McCann had a tame shot held by Watson who then brilliantly saved to deny McNaught . McNaught then had a shot blocked but McCann blasted the rebound over. Rovers then had a free which was headed out to Michael St Ledger whose volley flew just wide and then from a corner William Logan had a header saved.Moville made it four nil on 76 minutes when a Conor Doherty free was parried for Gill to see his header come back off the bar and McNaught headed in. On 87 minutes substitute Emmet McCauley found Norbert Indyka who completed the scoring with a low shot from sixteen years. The final action sees replacement keeper Luke Rudden claw away a Doherty effort.
Inishowen Football League Season kicks off Sunday 23rd August.
The 2026-27 Inishowen League season gets underway next weekend with the group stages of both the Clubman Shirts League Cup and the Charlie O’Donnell Memorial cup. The draws held at a delegate meeting Monday 10th August resulted as follows:
Clubman Shirts
| Group A |
Group B |
Group C |
| Illies Celtic |
Buncrana Hearts |
Carn FC |
| QPS |
Greencastle FC |
Cockhill Youths |
| Aileach FC |
Clonmany Shamrocks |
Culdaff FC |
The three group winners along with the best runner up will qualify for the semi finals and there are a number of interesting ties. There are two new managerial appointments with Declan Sharkey at the helm in Greencastle and Brendan McLaughlin in a player manager role in Culdaff. Group A & C could be tight affairs but on last seasons form Aileach and Carn FC will be the favourites to emerge although Cockhill Youths could be the surprise package after their excellent season in Division One . Group B looks to be a straight fight between Buncrana Hearts and Clonmany Shamrocks given the difficulties Greencastle have had in the off season.
Charlie O’Donnell Memorial Cup
| Group A |
Group B |
Group C |
| Dunree United |
Sea Rovers |
Cockhill Res |
| Glengad United |
Buncrana Res |
Aileach Res |
| Carn Youth |
Redcastle United |
Moville Celtic |
Holders Carn Youths have been drawn in group A and under new manager Kevin Doherty will be hoping to launch a staunch defence of their title. On last years league form Glengad United would be the favourites to emerge from this group but it would be no surprise if any of the other two teams came out on top. In Group B Redcastle United , relegated from the premier division last season , are under new manager Kevin McLaughlin and they will be favourites to emerge from this group. All three teams in the group have new managers with Joey Holland taking over at Rovers and Gerard Boyle in charge of Buncrana Res. In group C promoted Moville Celtic will be hoping to carry on from where they left off last season when they face Cockhill Res and Aileach Res under new manager Dermot Doherty. As with the Clubman Shirts the three group winners along with the best runner up will go to the semi finals.
