Last four places up for grabs in Donegal SFC

DONEGAL SENIOR FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP QUARTER-FINALS

KILCAR V KILLYBEGS

Saturday, Tir Conaill Park, 12 noon

With the league title already in the bag, 2017 champions Kilcar will bring belief to the championship. Mark Sweeney and Stephen McBrearty kicked 0-4 apiece in their last outing, but Paddy McBrearty will return this weekend.

Verdict: Kilcar

 

AODH RUADH V GAOTH DOBHAIR

Saturday, Eamonn Byrne Park, 3.30pm

Goals from Diarmáid McInerney and Nathan Boyle saw Ballyshannon earn a 100 per cent record in the group stages. It’ll be a tight came to call this weekend, but Gaoth Dobhair could edge it.

Verdict: Gaoth Dobhair

 

ST EUNAN’S V ST MICHAEL’S

Saturday, Davy Brennan Memorial Park, 5.30pm

The champions are back knocking on the door of another title challenge. They will have regrets of not overturning Glen in Ulster last season. They should have enough to return to the last four.

Verdict: St Eunan’s

 

NAOMH CONAILL V GLENSWILLY

Sunday, O’Donnell Park, 2.30pm

The game of the weekend and is televised live on TG4. The men from Glenties have been in every final since Glenswilly’s last appearance in 2016 when they took home the Dr Maguire Cup.

Verdict: Naomh Conaill

 

DONEGAL INTEREMEDIATE FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP SEMI-FINALS

DUNGLOE V TERMON

Saturday, Pearse Memorial Park, 7pm

Oisin Bonner and Christy Greene netted in Dungloe’s win over Naomh Mhuire with Daire McDaid’s penalty helping Termon into the last four. A tough one to call, perhaps last year’s runners up to edge it.

Verdict: Dungloe

 

NAOMH COLUMBA V FANAD

Sunday, MacCumhaill Park, 6pm

Alan McAteer was the Fanad hero with a late goal to chin Division Two league champions Downings in the last eight. Naomh Columba had an easy passage in the quarter-finals. If Aaron Doherty and Christopher Byrne fire they could make the final.

Verdict: Naomh Columba

 

DONEGAL JUNIOR FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP QUARTER-FINALS

CARNDONAGH V URRIS

Saturday, Pairc Uí Dochartaigh, 1pm

Conor O’Donnell continues to be an absentee for Carndonagh. He will be a loss this weekend once again, but they should pull through against Urris.

Verdict: Carndonagh

 

ST EUNAN’S V NA ROSSA

Saturday, O’Donnell Park, 3pm

Lee McMonagle was St Eunan’s hero against Naomh Padraig and they have a few former seniors in their ranks.

Verdict: St Eunan’s
