SENIOR & RESERVE MEN
The Reserves won on Sunday, with goals from Daniel O'Donnell, Declan Sweeney, Marty Sweeney, Mark Sweeney and two from Eóin Doherty. We send best wishes to Shay who was injured during the game, and a thank you to Áine, a member of the Buncrana club, who came to his aid and gave great nursing care until the paramedics arrived. The seniors lost out to Buncrana in the second game . With the senior county final on Sunday there will be no games this weekend until the final league fixture of the year on Sunday 22nd October when Killybegs travel to the Burn Road in a crucial Division 2 match.

Hard luck to our under 16 girls who were runners up in the Division 1 county final on Saturday.

We're already looking forward to 2018!

MENTAL HEALTH WEEK
Here is a message from the The Donegal GAA Health & Wellbeing Committee in association with the Donegal Youth Council have sent us the following message as part of their Mental Health Awareness Campaign:
The campaign aims to send out a simple but important message around minding your mental health and that of your family, friend's colleagues and community. All too often in this busy and hectic world we tend to overlook the simple things that can make a difference to minding our mental health
The 4 L's message
Listen, out for our family, friends, neighbours, community and be available to them in a time of need
Look, out for each other, the young, and the elderly those who are vulnerable, those living alone, those who are being bullied and those who might be sad
Laughter, laugh at ourselves, laugh with others, life can be serious but your smile could warm up someone's day.
Link up, stop talking about it and go and do it. Make that link, connection, phone call, text, e mail, card, or better still a visit from you
Our simple message is part of international world mental health day and recommended for everyday use.
Put the 4Ls into practice today and start making a difference to all our mental health.
