Donegal Town drew their sixth Derry League match away to CYMS. Chris Gibbons must be sick of the sight of the Plunkett brothers because, having lost to Oliver last week, this time Tom defeated him two nil. Oliver came from behind to draw with Aidan Devanney while Michael Neary played well but ultimately lost to Phelim McClafferty.
Donegal won their fourth Donegal League match in five games against Twin Towns A. Tom, Oliver and Terry Mullin provided the fireworks on the night. The club lies third in the table.
The club's commitment to improving the facilities was exemplified last week. The four large snooker tables were completely refurbished. The cloth was stretched which has speeded them up considerably. The woodwork was also restored and the beauty of the three "elderly" tables is evident for all to see.
The Inter-Firms pool competition is in full swing with an entry of ninety-two. The reigning champions are Jimmy's Tavern who will again be hard to beat. It is being played on superb surfaces, which has made for exciting matches. The two pool tables were also re-clothed and the pockets improved.
The new 8 by 4 table has proved very popular with all the members. It recently had new pocket rails attached. The balls are the same as on the full-size table so it's an excellent way to practise and gain control of the cue ball.
The Danny Martin Memorial Shield is taking shape nicely and recent winners include Conal Haughey, Michael Hunt, Luke McGee, Gary Spencer, Michael Neary, Bertie Love, Sean Boyle and Alan Ramsay.
The Junior Hamper is also bubbling along nicely. Players who have won their matches include John O'Shea, Mark B Gallagher, Keith Mulhern, Anthony Gallagher, Ciaran O'Reilly and Kevin Cassidy.
