Match Results

Malin seniors began their 2010 league campaign with a very good away win over fellow Inishowen side Buncrana at the Scarvey on Saturday afternoon, winning by 1-08 to 1-06. The win gives them a valuable two points in what is likely to be a tight division this year again. Full match reports for both seniors and reserves are available by clicking here.
Malin reserves were defeated 0-07 to 1-03 in their opening league encounter away to Buncrana but they should have taken something from the game as they had 8 wides in the second half.
The U-16 side made it 3 out of 3 wins in the Northern league, beating Lifford by 6-09 to 2-11 in Malin on Sunday afternoon. The visitors began with the wind behind them and led by 0-03 to zero early on but Malin settled and Christopher Doherty hit the first of 3 goals to draw level. Malin’s ability to hit goals was the main difference between the teams, Malin going in at the break 4-02 to 0-05 ahead.
Lifford played well against the wind in the second half, adding 2-06 to their total but Malin always appeared in control and they ran out comfortable winners. Scorers for Malin were Christopher Doherty(3-0), Paddy McGrenahan(1-02), Shaun Doherty(1-01), Gerard Doherty(1-0), Declan Farren(0-2), Adam Byrne(0-2), Seamus Houton and Ryan Greene. Malin’s next outing in the Northern league is likely to be their toughest test so far as they travel to Urris on Good Friday at 7-00pm, all support welcome.

Fixtures

Malin ladies begin their first Intermediate league campaign on Good Friday when they travel to Ballyshannon to meet Aodh Ruadh at 6-00pm. This is a big year for the ladies after their success in the junior league and championship of 2009 and the club wishes them all the best for the year.
The Junior B side also begin their 2010 league division 5 campaign after their success in 2009 with an away trip to Glenties on Saturday, 3rd April, again the club wishes them all the best.
This weekend sees Malin in the first home fixture of the year as they meet Cloughaneely in Connolly Park. The senior side will be eager to make it two wins out of two but they will have to be at their best as Cloughaneely also started their campaign with a good win over Fanad Gaels. At the time of writing date and time are unclear but check local press for details and all support is very welcome.
