Third placed Donegal came unstuck once again against Twin Towns A in their latest Lyric Donegal League match. The key match saw Jack McGranaghan gain revenge for his defeat earlier in the season in Donegal Town. He easily defeated his then conqueror Tom Plunkett 2-0. Charlie Murphy lifted Donegal spirits by defeating up-and-coming youngster Jason Browne 2-1 and Paul Thomas had the same scoreline in his match with a plucky Daniel O'Brien. Star of the night was young Simon Connolly who showed great maturity in defeating Michael Neary 2-0 to earn a draw for Twin Towns.
Donegal Town drew their final Derry fixture of the season away to George's Bar. Michael Neary was unfortunate to meet scratch man Gerry Stainsby who blitzed the Mountcharles man in a potting display the likes of which the team have rarely seen. George's Bar would have been a different proposition this season if this guy had been playing regularly. Oliver Plunkett had a 31 break in his draw with John Doran and Tom Plunkett salvaged some pride for Donegal by taking the last two frames against Kevin McKinney, helped by a 51 break along the way. This was Tom's second 50 break in a row in Derry. The club have finished fifth of nine teams in their section. Last year the club finished third and very nearly dumped the eventual winners of the league in the quarter-finals. This season has seen only Oliver Plunkett emerge with an unbeaten record in individual matches, while brother Tom's poor form has seen the club lose too many frames. New blood is required to refresh the team and hopefully next season the promising group of juniors will produce a few candidates.
