By Niall Gartland FOUR Masters are set to represent Donegal in the St Paul’s tournament for the second year running and that alone is an indication that they’re firmly on the right track as a club. The back-to-back Donegal Minor Champions made it all the way to the final in last year’s Ulster Championship at […]
By Michael McMullan THE draw has been made for this year’s Ulster Minor Football Tournament with hosts St Paul’s in the competition for the first time in 30 years.

By Shaun Casey THE hurt of losing last year’s Intermediate Championship final in the cruellest of ways has driven St Paul’s on this season, says their joint-captain Eoin McConville.

He typified Dungiven’s “don’t stop” mantra they needed in abundance. His error may have handed Seanán Carr an early […]
By Shaun Casey THIRTY years ago, Paul O’Hagan lined out for Clan na Gael in the St Paul’s Minor Tournament final as his side suffered an 11-point defeat to Donegal’s Aodh Ruadh. This weekend, O’Hagan will be back in St Paul’s, this time patrolling the sideline as manager, with the Lurgan Blues once again representing Armagh. […]
By Michael McMullan TWO previous winners of the competition – Burren and Dungiven – go head to head on Sunday for a place in the final of this year’s Ulster Minor Football Tournament in Belfast.
