Former Donegal players Tony Boyle and Raymond Sweeney have given plenty back to Dungloe. They’ve help build a winning culture in ladies’ football and shaped many of the men running out against St Eunan’s on Sunday. They spoke to Michael McMullan …. A TOURIST walking down the street would be forgiven for thinking the locals […]
IT’S Monday. It’s 5.30am. I’m sitting in the Terminal Two departure lounge. The flight to Dortmund beckons. My mind has already wandered to what might have been. I’m after meeting Mr Celtic – Marty Gilmore from the Ballymena Shamrocks club. I promised him I’ll try and behave better than Jamie Carragher did last year when […]
By Michael McMullan WITH Naomh Conaill gone from the race, the Dr Maguire Cup will have a new home this winter and we’ll know more after this weekend’s semi-finals. One swing of Eoin McGeehin’s foot saw St Eunan’s over the line after Naomh Conaill’s comeback in the quarter-final. It doesn’t get any handier for Barry Meehan’s […]
By Michael McMullan THE mood is upbeat in the St Eunan’s camp after their win over champions Naomh Conaill but skipper Kieran Tobin knows full well his side have more work to do.

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 […]
By Dáire Bonner AFTER a disappointing end to last year’s championship campaign, St Eunan’s player Brian MacIntyre is hopeful they can push on further in this year’s championship. And with a difficult draw in the first two rounds, coming up against two of the ‘big four’, they got off to the perfect start with a […]
By Gerry McLaughlin BURT are hoping to bounce back after their 2-22 to 3-11 defeat to old rivals Setanta. It looked good for Burt against a weakened Setanta – if there is such a thing – when they led by 3-7 to 0-10 after 24 minutes into the game. But they could only score four […]
THE draws for the Donegal SFC were made on Wednesday night. The format will be the same as last season. All 16 teams will play four games – two home and two away – to decide who advances to the knock-out stages. The top four teams will advance to the quarter-finals with play-offs used to […]
By Michael McMullan ST Eunan’s are now focusing on the championship with their league final hopes out of their own hands. With all their games played, they are joint top with Naomh Conaill and Gaoth Dobhair who both have one game left. St Eunan’s are currently second on score difference and would have the head-to-head […]
