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 […]

By Shaun Casey GAOTH DOBHAIR will be without their main scoring threat in Eamon Collum along with a host of other household names when they travel to Glenfin on Saturday evening.
