OVER the last number of weeks, I have heard a lot about St Eunan’s and how they were performing. So I headed to O’Donnell Park last Saturday evening interested to see what they were like. St Eunan’s were playing against my own club Gaoth Dobhair and with us needing the points, the pressure was all […]
