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. Speaking ahead of Saturday’s semi-final showdown with last year’s beaten finalists Gaoth Dobhair, Tobin hopes it will be third time lucky. Twice […]
AFTER all the group games, it’s now crunch time in the Donegal Senior Football Championship this weekend. The race for the Dr Maguire Cup has now entered the quarter-final stages.

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.

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.

By Michael McMullan YOU could barely turn a sweet in your mouth in the bedlam that was St Tiernach’s Park’s presentation area on Sunday but Niall O’Donnell found enough time to pull together his thoughts.
