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 […]
By Michael McMullan COUNTY champions Naomh Conaill and St Eunan’s are the top of the tree as the Division One league campaign heads for a finale. Eunan’s are a point ahead of Martin Regan’s side with both teams having three games left to play. The top two will contest a league decider and have yet […]
By Michael McMullan NO decision has been made on Martin Regan’s future as Naomh Conaill manager ahead of the 2023 season. Regan had originally stepped away from the post at the start of 2022 before a u-turn saw him back at the helm. After losing the 2021 final at the hands of St Eunan’s, the […]
By Michael McMullan WHEN you’ve been in seven of the last eight county finals, you must be doing something right and Donegal champions Naomh Conaill take that level of consistency into Sunday’s clash with Antrim giants Cargin. After losing last year’s final by 10 points to St Eunan’s, Martin Regan’s charges are top dogs again […]
By Michael McMullan WINNING back the Paddy McNamee Cup was the priority on Cargin’s radar, but manager Ronan Devlin admits there was more ambition hidden deeper in the squad’s psyche. After losing to Creggan in last year’s semi-final, hurt focused the mind on climbing back to the top of the tree in Antrim. Former All-Ireland […]
GLENTIES overcame all the odds last weekend to land their sixth title overcoming a hotly fancied St Eunan’s side in a pulsating encounter. St Eunan’s were the team on everyone’s lips this year with no-one giving any other team a chance. Going into the game a lot of people, myself included, thought that St Eunan’s […]
By Frank Craig JEAIC Mac Ceallbhuí says the manner in which Naomh Conaill saw out the closing moments of the county final in MacCumhaill Park on Saturday perfectly summed up their efforts as a team. With 14-man St Eunan’s in desperate need of an equaliser, they continuously found their avenue towards that so-called scoring zone […]
DONEGAL SENIOR CHAMPIONSHIP FINAL NAOMH CONAILL V ST EUNAN’S Saturday, MacCumhaill Park, 2.15pm FOOTBALL fell a very poor second in Donegal last weekend and the County Board did the right thing by calling off the games following the tragedy in Creeslough. The games are back on this weekend, with the champions taking on a Naomh […]
