1 week ago | donegallive.ie | Tom Comack

Naomh Muire marked another milestone in the club’s history at the weekend with the official opening of the new spectator stand at the Banks. The 200-spectator stand, which was completed in 2023, was officially opened on Sunday morning. The official opening was done by the club's ladies player and Donegal Ladies captain, Roisin Rodgers.

Danny O’Donnell was happy to get back to winning ways on Sunday against St Naul’s at the Banks at the weekend. The Naomh Muire manager’s side had suffered their first defeat of the league campaign in the previous outing against Dungloe at Rosses Park seven days earlier. But a 0-18 to 0-10 win over the Mountcharles lads means the Lower Rosses outfit are up to third in the Division 2 standings, a point behind second-placed Dungloe and just two adrift of pace-setters Aodh Ruadh.

Naomh Bríd had their shooting boots on when they proved too strong for Naomh Padraig, Lifford, in this weekend's Division Three clash in Trummon. Centre half forward Aaron McGrory led from the front and was well clear when it came to the scoring stakes. The elusive number 11 finished the game with 1-13 to his credit at the end of what was a cracking encounter. Gearoid Gallagher and Eoghan Gallagher were among the other goal scorers with two each.

Red Hughs continue to set the pace in Division Three of the All-County League following Sunday’s eight-point win over Naomh Ultan in Dunkineely. Colm Melaugh, Cathair Browne, Johnny Carlin, Jack Gillespie, and Calvin Bradley were all in fine scoring form for the men from the Crossroads. They proved a little too hot to handle for a stretched Naomh Ultan side. The winners laid down an early marker, and thanks to a Colm Melaugh goal, they led by three points, 1-6 to 0-6, at half-time.

Daire McDaid saved table-toppers Termon with two late points against Downings at a windy Páirc na Dúnaibh on Sunday afternoon. Termon, promoted from Division Two last season, extended their unbeaten run to eight games - six wins and two draws - following this share of the spoils with the locals. The elusive McDaid was also his team’s top scorer, finishing with 1-7. His goal, from the penalty spot, was the game’s opening score and got the pace-setters off to a lightning start.

Naomh Muire bounced back from last weekend’s defeat away to Dungloe with an eight-point win over a battling St Naul’s at the Banks this afternoon. In windy conditions, and in a tie heavily influenced by the strong breeze blowing down the field, Danny O’Donnell’s men came from eight points down at half-time. St Naul’s played with the wind and led 0-10 to 0-6 at the break, thanks to four two-pointers from Stephen Griffin and one from Jonathan O’Driscoll.

Back-to-back Ulster champions Donegal open their All-Ireland Senior Championship campaign against Tyrone on Saturday night as one of the favourites for All-Ireland glory. Such are the dizzy heights Donegal football has scaled to in recent times. But it was not always like that. Donegal’s first All-Ireland success came in 1982 when Tom Conaghan guided the county’s U-21 footballers to the Promised Land and an All-Ireland title.

Gaeil Fhanada and Carndonagh could not be separated at the end of the proverbial game of two halves in Portsalon, on Sunday afternoon. The locals played with a stiff breeze in their favour in the opening half and, by and large, held the upper hand in the half. They led by four points, 0-7 to 0-3, at half-time before going six up to lead 0-9 to 0-3 early in the second period.
Dungloe’s target has to be promotion back to Division 1 - Dessie Gallagher

2 weeks ago | donegallive.ie | Tom Comack

Dessie Gallagher was a happy man last Sunday evening following Dungloe’s five-point local derby win over Naomh Muire, Lower Rosses, in Rosses Park. But the Dungloe boss insisted afterwards, despite the local derby nature of the fixture, that the most important thing was that Dungloe had another two precious league points. Dungloe won on a scoreline of 5-5 to 0-17. Cianan McSaid, Shaun McGee, Patrick O’Donnell, Darren Curran, and Aaron Ward scored the goals.
