Under 21 football: Our Under 21 footballers travelled to Creggan on Sunday to take on Ramor United in the first round of the Ulster Championship. The first half was a keenly contested affair with the packed Ramor rear-guard proving difficult to penetrate. Paul Gunning, Conor Convery, Cathal Mulholland and Tiarnan Flanagan grabbed Glen's first half points with the teams heading to the half time break level at 5 points each. After the interval Glen got the worst possible start with a high ball ending up in the Glen net. Glen responded immediately when Paul Gunning got on the end of a great team move and palmed to the Ramor goal. Cathal Mulholland then treated the crowd to a piece of magic when he started a move in his own half, left a trail of defenders in his wake before blasting high into the corner of the Ramor net. The Cavan team responded with another goal to leave the game primed for a tense last 10 minutes. However Glen finished much stronger with further points from Tiarnan Flanagan and Paul Gunning before Tiarnan finally putting daylight between the teams when he rattled the net after a Cathal Mulholland turnover. Final score Glen 3-08 Ramor United 2.07. Glen scorers Paul Gunning 1.03, Conor Convery 0.01, Tiarnan Flanagan 1.02 and Cathal Mulholland 1.02. We now play Donegal champions Gweedore in the semi-final next Sunday 29th at 2.15pm. Please get along and show your support for the team and management.
