I think the problem is the standard of football in Donegal . Eunans won the county championship without having to be at their best in most games. Their first half display against Naomh Conaill was probably the only time they hit top gear.

Commentator said last night that Morriston is based in Amsterdam and had been commuting back for games. Is this a long term situation, could be an obstacle to him returning to County panel.

Well gweedoire won ulster and NC have gotten to two finals and were beat by a point by last years All Ireland winners so I don't think the standard is a big issue. Some good individual performances in eunans jersey which bode well for county next year. But as a team eunans seem to lack that bit of togetherness to progress THE EXTRAMAN (Donegal) - Posts: 554 - 03/11/2024 18:14:13 2578178 Link 1 |

The u21 'A' championship is shaping up to be a good contest, some good teams and plenty of tight games. I did notice that Four Masters gave St. Eunans an almighty tanking although I'm not sure if perhaps there was a few senior players that sat that game out or something else that caused such an apparent gulf in quality.

It's simple... They're a far better team.

Under 21s seems wide open this year. Gaoth dobhair favourites again had a good win away in Buncrana today. Bit of a surprise maybe Ballyshannon beating Glenswilly but Jack Gallagher is the in form forward in the county at the moment. 2nd highest scorer in the senior championship in a very poor Ballyshannon side and I see he got 9 points today. Only 18/19. Surely has to be on the radar for 20s or seniors at this stage. TomRiddle (Donegal) - Posts: 4 - 03/11/2024 21:55:56 2578231 Link 0 |
Does anyone know why Niall O'D didn't start. I heard it was because McGeehin was flying In training

Is he not the one age as Stephen McBrearty and the likes? He's become a good club football after all the injury problems over the years, but I don't think there's any sense in hyping him up for county panel. Id say he's delighted to have just finally settled back into senior club football.

I'd agree the margins tend to be very tight. The Donegal senior club sides have been very competitive to the top teams club teams in recent years but always seem to leave close games behind them. Unfortunately you don't win games by winning the possession stats. Patton gave Eunans incredible platforms last night and their defence largely kept Errigal quiet but not having a cushion they should have had in injury time made the poor turnovers more costly.

Naomh Padraig Uisce Chaoin, Muff, had a good win against the Antrim Champions on Saturday in Letterkenny. Concerning to see Caolan McColgan coming off before half time with an injury. Hopefully it isn't too serious and he is back for the Semi Final in a couple of weeks. dats_rite (Australia) - Posts: 11 - 04/11/2024 11:11:00 2578291 Link 0 |

You'd think though that Niall O'D should still have started? He wouldn't have been able to take a holiday all year. Did they really shout themselves in the foot? ThroughTheGap (Donegal) - Posts: 42 - 04/11/2024 13:21:38 2578323 Link 0 |
Ciaran Moore would have been a big loss to Eunans at U21 level. Probably a few more played Sat evening. Mad that the U21s was fixed for the morning after the Ulster Club Championship. Newman21 (Donegal) - Posts: 42 - 04/11/2024 15:14:13 2578344 Link 0 |
See Declan bonner win another championship at the weekend. I would say it's rare to win two championships in successive years in different counties, anyone know was it done before.. rorysboys (Donegal) - Posts: 2555 - 04/11/2024 15:37:50 2578351 Link 0 |
Managers move around that much nowadays it most likely has been done before although I wouldn't have any names to hand.

I'm hearing Rory Kavanagh has been put forward for the Derry job. Looks like not many wanting it SpidersWeb97 (Donegal) - Posts: 7 - 04/11/2024 17:02:23 2578369 Link 0 |
