It goes without saying that hurling is an incredibly difficult sport to master, and whoever is awarded our big individual prize of Hurler of the Year in association with Ulster GAA, will be thoroughly deserving of the plaudits. Last year’s winner was Dunloy’s Ryan Elliott, the first ever time a goalkeeper has got his hands […]
By Niall Gartland CASTLEBLAYNEY are bidding to stretch their lead at the top of the roll of honour list when they take on St Eunan’s in Sunday’s Ulster Junior Championship final. The Monaghan side are the only team to have won the provincial title at this level on three separate occasions (2005, 2014 and 2018), […]
BY DÁIRE BONNAR ST Eunan’s hurlers are just 60 minutes away from winning their first Ulster title as they go into the Junior provincial decider this weekend. It’s a huge game for the club and Conor O’Grady, who captained the Letterkenny men to the Munster Cup in 2021, is under no illusions of the task […]
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 […]
HERE it is. We are now in squeaky bum time in the Donegal Senior Championship with the semi-final pairings decided last weekend. The standout clash is a repeat of last year‘s final between hot favourites St Eunan’s and also hotly fancied Naomh Conaill. Before a championship ball was kicked, both of these names would have […]
By Michael McMullan THE game of the weekend in the Donegal Senior Football Championship will see champions Naomh Conaill host Glenswilly in the final round of action before the knock-out stages. Of the 16 teams, the top four will advance straight to the quarter-finals with the bottom four fighting it off to avoid relegation The […]
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 […]
By Niall Gartland WILL this year’s Donegal Senior Championship be another two-horse race between St Eunan’s and reigning champions Naomh Conaill? They’ve played in the last two finals – St Eunan’s came out on top in 2021 while Naomh Conaill gained sweet revenge this time last year, so it’s certainly looking that way judging by precedent […]
By Michael McMullan ST EUNAN’S, Letterkenny’s appointment of former championship winner Eddie Brennan as their Games Promotion Officer is an investment in the future insists chairman John Haran. Brennan is taking a career break from teaching after expressing an interest and stepping into the role. He will oversee all things underage, something Haran feels the club […]
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 […]
