Replying To farneygael3: "Yea. Men need to kick ball should have started a month ago tbh" Why? County leagues were being played. Some lads have no clue of Monaghan or Ulster club football. ORIELMAN85 (Monaghan) - Posts: 748 - 04/08/2025 13:17:56 2630020 Link
Yeah, hard to go against St Eunans for the senior championship. Although Naomh Conaill will also fancy their chances if Thompson is fit. ThroughTheGap (Donegal) - Posts: 85 - 04/08/2025 13:56:34 2630024 Link
Replying To Northwest90: "Great to hear more of our club championship games will be streamed, that's a good improvement from the co board. Fair play, looking forward to championships this weekend. What's the predictions? Senior: Hard to look past St Eunans Intermediate: N Mhuire or Buncrana Junior: Carndonagh" Senior: Eunans if Patton is fit, Glenties if he's not Intermediate: Milford Junior: Carn at a canter, will tip them for Ulster too. peiledoir20 (Donegal) - Posts: 1308 - 04/08/2025 15:22:38 2630032 Link
Replying To ORIELMAN85: "Why? County leagues were being played. Some lads have no clue of Monaghan or Ulster club football." Can't get relegated out of the league so it's essentially glorified challenge games. Evenings are getting darker before our championship starts. farneygael3 (Monaghan) - Posts: 332 - 04/08/2025 23:11:18 2630087 Link
Yes lads, putting together a wee predictions competition for the Donegal championships (S, I & J) It will follow the same format as I've done in the past. 1 point for predicting the winner of the fixture 3 points if you correctly call a draw 5 points if you call the winner with the exact winning margin If you're interested in taking part let me know and I'll add your name to the tracker. Admins - ok for me to set up a separate thread per weekend? I don't want to put it in this general Donegal thread to clutter it up, in case it just annoys other people not taking part in the competition. Thanks.

Yes please add me to that, really enjoyed it last year, fair play for setting it up again! dgcrusader (Donegal) - Posts: 120 - 05/08/2025 11:02:05 2630118 Link
Replying To peiledoir20: "Senior: Eunans if Patton is fit, Glenties if he's not Intermediate: Milford Junior: Carn at a canter, will tip them for Ulster too." Senior: Glenties, think with Eoin McGettigan back he will be a big help to them to get over the line against St Eunans. Think those 2 are a bit ahead of the rest. Intermediate: Tentatively will say Buncrana, nearly men at it for a while now but think they will nick it over Naomh Muire or Malin Junior: Carn will be winners by a country mile, next best being Gaels or Naomh Brid. I would normally give Convoy a bit of backing but they have lost a lot to emmigration/players not committing to current management set up. dgcrusader (Donegal) - Posts: 120 - 05/08/2025 13:04:27 2630143 Link

In the senior, it's hard to look beyond Eunans, but if Patton is out it will obviously weaken them somewhat. Naomh Conaill will be a tough nut for any team to crack as usual. Dungloe will be strong again and determined to follow up on last year. After that, I'll be interested to see if the likes of Termon and Four Masters can establish themselves as serious contenders. I don't think there's a lot between the likes of Gaoth Dobhair, Kilcar & St. Michaels. Gun to head - I'll go with Eunans. Intermediate - as in every year, a very competitive championship. Hard to call a winner until we've seen a round or two played, but I'd say Milford, Buncrana, Naomh Mhuire and Malin would all be fancying their chances. In the junior, Carndonagh must be huge favourites. They didn't perform in last year's final at all and will be keen to put that right. Having a potential All-Star operating at this level is also hugely advantageous to their chances!! Lockjaw (Donegal) - Posts: 9961 - 05/08/2025 13:52:23 2630159 Link

After Sundays Division 4 final I took a browse through some of the first 12s and second 15s in each club, and I've found a few players that I'm not sure how the CCC missed as it's fairly public knowledge they're no longer there. Some even playing inter-county in their newly adopted homes! How are clubs getting away with some of these?

Replying To HandballRef: "Good man Lockjaw. Add me in. Missed this last year. Big push to stop you doing the 3 in a row this year!" No bother lad! Ha I think I fluked a few results in previous years in fairness. I'll be putting up two seperate threads on the forum to cover the first two weekends of Championship. "Donegal Championship Predictions - W1" & "Donegal Championship Predicitions - W2" I'm out of the country for 2 weeks from Sunday, so I'll tot up the first two weekend scores once I'm back and we'll continue on from there. Hopefully we'll get a few more contestants. The prize for this year's winner is a trip to Kashmir. Lockjaw (Donegal) - Posts: 9961 - 06/08/2025 09:47:25 2630233 Link

In my own experience with teams if you had a player transfer away, you obviously couldn't include them. Is there any repercussions? For the CCC or clubs? donegalgael-12 (Donegal) - Posts: 26 - 06/08/2025 11:20:18 2630251 Link
