Team News
Cathal Canning's Donegal League side were in action on Saturday as they defend the title won last season. They travelled to Bundoran and returned having picked up 1.5 matches out of five. Johnny Shields and Ryan McGettigan picked up a half-point in the front game, while Kevin Boyce and Davitt Walsh were defeated 1dn in match two, both Portsalon pairings unfortunate to be pegged back by finishing birdies from the Bundoran sides as some excellent golf was played.
The pairings of Stephen Connolly & Daniel Shields and Cathal Canning & Paddy McGowan were defeated after tight battles, while Enda McElhinney & Donal Callaghan brought home a victory in the back match. With just four holes down, and the home leg to come, it's all to play for in the second leg in Portsalon.
Club Matchplay updates
All three Club Matchplay events are now reaching the latter stages, with a big thanks owed to all competing players and pairings for helping to ensure a smooth and timely completion of matches.

The Club Singles Matchplay has reached the quarter-final stage. Michael Molloy and Paddy Kelly are set for battle with the winner going through to play either Captain's Prize winner Justin Green or Enda McElhinney.
In the bottom half, Scott McBride and John Shields will lock horns for the chance to square up to either Paddy McGowan or Donal Callaghan Jnr in the semi-finals.
The quarter-final line-up is nearing completion in the Club Doubles Matchplay too. Sean Barrett and Eamonn McConigley are set to face Padraig and Seanan McAleer in match one, while father & son combo Patrick and Paddy Kelly will face Michael McFadden and Ian Morton in the last-eight.
Below them, Shane Sandilands and Enda McElhinney are taking on Vincent Bradley and Darren Murray, while the remaining quarter-final sees Ryan McGettigan and Donal Callaghan Jnr waiting for the winners of another quality tussle between Jack Friel & Ronan McAteer and Dean Shields & Cian McGettigan.
Good luck to all those still competing in the matchplay events and keep the results rolling.
