AFTER all of the huffing and puffing and less meaningful games, we are now down to the final two here in the Donegal Championship next weekend when Gaoth Dobhair and Naomh Conaill will lock horns to see who are crownded the champions of Donegal. As I expected, Gaoth Dobhair made light work of MacCumhaill’s last […]
By Ryan Ferry NAOMH Conaill manager Martin Regan didn’t feel that his team were at their best on Sunday but they still picked up a huge Donegal semi-final win over St Eunan’s. It was a massive tie between what is regarded as the top two sides in the county but Regan’s men were good value […]
By Michael McMullan CHAMPIONS Naomh Conaill face the acid test of their credentials against St Eunan’s in Sunday’s Donegal SFC semi-final in Ballybofey. It’s a repeat of last year’s final won by Martin Regan’s men and the recent group clash that finished level, 0-9 all, in Glenties. St Eunan’s were champions in 2021, beating Naomh […]
HERE it is. We are now in squeaky bum time in the Donegal Senior Championship with the semi-final pairings decided last weekend. The standout clash is a repeat of last year‘s final between hot favourites St Eunan’s and also hotly fancied Naomh Conaill. Before a championship ball was kicked, both of these names would have […]
By Michael McMullan REIGNING champions Naomh Conaill have been handed a tough draw against Kilcar for this weekend’s quarter-finals. With the draw not seeded, the top four teams from the group stages were drawn against each other. Aodh Ruadh Ballyshannon, the only team to have won all four group games, are out against St Eunan’s. […]
I touched a few weeks back on the different club championship models each county has and what may be the best. You just had to look at the drama in last weekend’s Tyrone Senior Football Championship to get a feeling of the excitement that surrounds that particular championship. Yes, a once off knockout game may […]
By Michael McMullan THE game of the weekend in the Donegal Senior Football Championship will see champions Naomh Conaill host Glenswilly in the final round of action before the knock-out stages. Of the 16 teams, the top four will advance straight to the quarter-finals with the bottom four fighting it off to avoid relegation The […]
IT’S club time all across the lands and we got through round two of the senior football championship here last weekend in Donegal. I suppose the best place to start is with a disappointing result for ourselves in Gaoth Dobhair against Aodh Ruadh, Ballyshannon. Now, don’t get me wrong, when going through my picks at […]
AS we gear up for the club championship here in Donegal, I’d like to take a look at the movers and shakers heading in to this year’s opening round of action this weekend. Before this, you could read a lot from league form. Now it’s different, since the majority of the teams were minus a […]
By Michael McMullan ST Eunan’s and Naomh Conaill will meet in this season’s unscheduled league final after topping the pile in Division One. Rory Kavanagh’s unbeaten Letterkenny side finished in second place with their unplayed clash with Malin having no consequence. Both teams will be firmly in the mix to get their hands on the […]
