Donegal News 24 October: Harps faced Swilly in the FAI Junior Cup at Swilly Park. In what was a shock it was Harps who won the game by a goal to nil. The match report reads “Swilly pounded round the Finn goals almost from the start to finish, but they could not beat goalkeeper Paudge McGowan, who struck peak form. He was helped by the dallying home forwards. But McGowan was the outstanding man of the day. When Barclay, in a breakaway goal for Finn there were still twenty minutes to play. But it was insufficent to waken Swilly forwards to the need for more dash and power. They ended up out of the cup. Best for Finn Harps were their half back line of Fergus McNulty, McHugh and Quinn.”
