Replying To ModernMaharaja: "Glen never showed up , 4 pts . they must have been awful" Was at the game. Dungloe physically superior and more ambitious in their style. Good to see Dungloe back in the big time, hopefully now can progress in the coming years in senior championship. Donegal_abroad (Donegal) - Posts: 1403 - 01/10/2022 19:27:38 2442440 Link
Replying To eunans4ever: "Beware Of the massacre this evening……" No massacre when you have a dodgy keeper on the high ball. Game on Scenicparish (Donegal) - Posts: 470 - 01/10/2022 20:17:15 2442451 Link
St eunans never looked like losing. Still a few gears I feel in them. Sorry n Conal fans but can't see anything but a eunans win.. rorysboys (Donegal) - Posts: 2607 - 01/10/2022 22:03:38 2442466 Link
Full congratulations to St Eunan's on their win. The fact that they have such a wealth of talent on the bench probably made the difference but I would also like to say a huge well done to Kilcar who despite not having anything like the numbers to call on, managed to be in the game the whole way through.

Shaun pattons kicking was brilliant last night. He's just like an extra player for st eunans. Nearly always assured of possession from his own kick outs. We have a lot to thank bonner for but going after Patton and securing his services was definitely a brilliant move. When you consider that he wasn't even playing Gaelic football at the time.. rorysboys (Donegal) - Posts: 2607 - 02/10/2022 11:54:10 2442481 Link
St eunans ultimately were the better team though it would be very interesting if the teams swapped keepers. Some of pattons kickouts and then how eunans can turn them into scores is first class. Other teams are miles off that. The one to niall o'donnell that should have led to mcgeehin goal was a brilliant set play. Kilcar or any other team just don't have that weapon. Kikcar basically had no option but go long and while they a good share they lost plenty and were overall on the back foot from a possession point of view. Eunans were not great when kilcar got their blanket in place and had some sloppy turnovers and over played the ball. At the start of the second half they were a little too passive and there was a certain amount malaise setting in. Their bench definitely helped them. I suppose in the final nc will hope to make it a low scoring dog fight and nc should be well geared up. Though I can't help feeling that the kickouts will play the key part again. St eunans made hay on the nc kickout last year and there's been no change this year by nc so the same tactic should work again.

It's amazing how important the goalkeeper is these days, I remember years ago the keeper would most likely just drive it out to the big men in midfield and let them fight for it. Well done to St Eunans, I can't see NC bothering them too much, they look well able for a good tilt at Ulster too. Tirchonaill1 (Donegal) - Posts: 3173 - 02/10/2022 13:36:39 2442494 Link

Any one else purchase the stream? Absolute joke. Planned my evening around watching the game only to log onto a constantly frozen screen no matter how many times I refreshed it. To add insult to injury I managed to avoid the result and tried to watch last night and again this morning with the same result. You would think the provider 247 TV could at least have a full functioning replay of the game but no. panamasam (Australia) - Posts: 2849 - 02/10/2022 14:06:54 2442499 Link

I couldn't go to the game and thought about streamimg it but I decided to just listen to it on Highland, if the problem isn't with your broadband, then it's a joke that you can't watch it after paying for it, you deserve your money back.

Hearing from a good source its Rory Kavanagh as manager and Karl Lacey and Frank McGlynn as selectors RoryGall35 (Donegal) - Posts: 193 - 02/10/2022 16:26:41 2442508 Link

Congratulations to St.Eunans on winning the county championship last night. Hopefully they enjoy their challenge match at the weekend.... naomh_conaill_4 (Donegal) - Posts: 502 - 02/10/2022 18:57:08 2442540 Link
Replying To RoryGall35: "Hearing from a good source its Rory Kavanagh as manager and Karl Lacey and Frank McGlynn as selectors" That would be a good young management team for sure, a fresh approach and new ideas will hopefully get more out of the players we have and hopefully get us back to at least an All-Ireland quarter final next year. That would be progress. Try and play more attacking pressing football and leave Murphy inside and swing in plenty ball for him. I'm not really sure how the structure is next year, anyway I think our focus should be more on the All-Ireland series and less on Ulster.
