WITH the news of Paddy Carr’s resignation as Donegal manager, we need to pull together even more. There has been a lot of stuff thrown about recently and I don’t think that’s it helped the management or players so it’s now time to draw a line under this and move on for the good of […]
THINGS are getting very serious at both ends of the Division One table as we head into this weekend’s round of fixtures. Last weekend, we saw high-flying Roscommon being brought back down to earth with a bang after Monaghan turned in a fantastic display. It has left things at the bottom end of the table […]
I’D like to start this week’s article by congratulating Jarlath Burns on his selection as the next President of our association. I’d also like to congratulate Jarlath’s family members and his club Silverbridge, because without all of those people none of this would have been possible. I am excited to see what changes Jarlath will […]

MASSIVE congratulations to Glen who claimed their first ever Ulster Club Senior Football title after turning in a phenomenal performance at the weekend. Before I get to the winners, we must at the stage also congratulate Kilcoo on the fantastic run over the last number of years. The benchmark that they have set is incredible […]
LAST weekend proved to any doubters out there just how special and ultra-competitive our Ulster Club Championship season is up here. When you look through all of the games last weekend, you would have witnessed everything that we like about Gaelic games and credit to all the clubs involved. Let’s start with the most controversial game, given all […]
NOW that the formalities are played out, the Donegal Senior Football Championship hits fever pitch next weekend as the quarter-final pairings were confirmed. Before I move on the possibilities of next weekend, I must touch on the overall structure of the club championship here at home because I think it’s in need of a major shakeup. We […]
THE news broke this week of Conor McKenna heading back down under for the upcoming season. I’m sure it’s news Tyrone supporters didn’t want to hear at this time of the year. I don’t know Conor personally, but he seems like a bit of a free spirit. So, if this is the right decision for […]
