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 […]
AFTER the tragic events here in Donegal last weekend, the county final was rightly postponed and now it will take place this Saturday. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families and friends of those who lost their lives and we pray that they will gather strength from those around them. This year’s county final […]
By Michael McMullan MONDAY, September 24, 2012 was the start of two journeys in Crumlin’s Our Lady’s Hospital for Sick Children. As All-Ireland Sunday stepped into a new week, Donegal’s heroes were taking Sam back to the hills. For seven-week old Oisín Bonner, his journey was different. He needed a helping hand early in life.

LAST weekend saw the first of the two semi-finals played here in Donegal with Glenties taking their place in what is their fifth consecutive final appearance. Going into the game Glenties were hot favourites based on how the year had gone to date, while Gaoth Dobhair are somewhat in a restructuring phase at the minute. […]
By Shaun Casey GAOTH DOBHAIR are 60 minutes away from featuring in their first Donegal Senior Championship final since 2019, and boss Trevor Alcorn admits of the four semi-finalists competing for a final berth this weekend, his side is ranked at the bottom. “For Gaoth Dobhair, we’re probably the underdogs. We’re named fourth out of them […]
DONEGAL SENIOR CHAMPIONSHIP SEMI-FINAL GAOTH DOBHAIR v NAOMH CONAILL Sunday, Ballybofey, 4pm GAOTH Dobhair have lost their two most recent championship games to Naomh Conaill, including a group-stage clash a few weeks ago.
