THE second weekend of Ulster Club action took place last weekend and yet again the competition came up trumps. I’ve said on many occasions that this is the best competition in the GAA calendar at the minute and, based on last weekend’s evidence, who would argue with me? We will start with the Saturday night […]
Kilcoo flexed their muscles on Sunday with a comprehensive win over Fermanagh kingpins Derrygonnelly to set up a mouth-watering clash with Scotstown this weekend. I expected Kilcoo to win last weekend but I thought Derrygonnelly would have put up a little bit more of a fight. From start to finish Kilcoo were extremely impressive and their […]
By Niall Gartland GOWNA have firmly established themselves as the leading team in Cavan football in recent years and now it’s up to them to show that they can duke it out with the big dogs in Ulster football. They retained their Cavan Senior Championship crown and did it in style with a thumping victory […]
By Michael McMullan CELEBRATING another visit of the Dr Maguire Cup was important to Martin Regan and Naomh Conaill but the focus is set on Sunday and date with Gowna. Mingling in each other’s pockets and the fans who back them all year was swapped for the training field by the Thursday night and it’s […]
Trillick upset the applecart last weekend, meaning at the Tyrone Senior Football Championship remains the hardest club championship in the land to retain. Heading into that game, all the talk was about Errigal Ciaran and how they would do back-to-back in Tyrone this year, something that hasn’t been done in close to 20 years. Great […]
IT wasn’t to be for our young guns in Gaoth Dobhair as they went down to a well-oiled Glenties machine in last Sunday’s Donegal county final. Going into the game, we knew Naomh Conaill were hot favourites but we thought we might be able to make a contest out of it. Although Sunday’s result was […]
By Ryan Ferry AJ GALLAGHER hailed Naomh Conaill’s backroom team after they got their hands on the Dr Maguire Cup once again. It was a fantastic display from Naomh Conaill and they played some brilliant football over the course of the hour as they defeated Gaoth Dobhair 1-16 to 1-8. They have received plenty of […]
Naomh Conaill are gunning for a seventh county title on Sunday. John Gildea was man of the match when they made the breakthrough in 2005. Michael McMullan caught up with him to look at what makes the Glenties men a tough nut to crack. IT wasn’t always glory and silver in Naomh Conaill. Sunday is […]
THE county final takes place in Donegal this coming Sunday, and with my own club Gaoth Dobhair in the decider I’ve decided to take a slightly different approach to this week’s column. Obviously, I’m dying for my own club to win the title, so, therefore, I want to look at this week’s county final as […]
By Michael McMullan FORMER Donegal midfielder John Gildea has backed his former Naomh Conaill teammate Jim McGuiness to again work his magic as the county’s senior boss. Gildea also hopes that ace forward Oisín Gallen can carry his club form into the county scene and be a focal point of the attack. McGuinness, an All-Ireland […]
