Social Media Reaction – Donegal SFC throws in

Glenswilly began the defnce of their title at the weekend

The first Senior Championship in Ulster threw in at the weekend.

Donegal started their competition, which is run as a round robin group event.

There were no major surprises but plenty of good football.

The champions Glenswilly had a comfortable start to their defence, beating Ardara by five. Last year’s beaten finalists Kilcar, won against Gaoth Dobhair.

St Eunan’s beat an understrength Four Masters, Naomh Conaill won against Dungloe, St Michael’s got the better of MacCumhaill’s, Bundoran were 13 points better than Malin, And Termon beat Naomh Muire on Saturday night.

Among the incidents of note was the goal by Ardara’s CJ Molloy, which was caught on video, and many regard as being a possible winner of the goal of the championship.

Here is some of the reaction which was on Twitter:

Not a Glen man scored it, but it’s just too sweet not to share. Early days but could be @MMurphySports Championship goal of 2017 @ArdaraGAA pic.twitter.com/x5Bt7GXAhc

I’ve a rule that anytime I lose a championship game I have to watch Joel Schumacher’s Batman and Robin. A tight penance.

Malin travelled to Bundoran today in the Donegal SFC – a 180 mile round trip. Must be biggest distance between two teams in one county? #GAA
