I would assume the relegation playoff final between St Nauls and Milford is on this weekend too? Any word on when the Intermediate and Junior semi-finals are taking place? Lockjaw (Donegal) - Posts: 9541 - 26/09/2023 12:27:03 2505806 Link

Unless some man tells us on here I have little hope of finding anything out on the Donegal Gaa website, I suppose Charlie Collins will have a new Donegal Sport Hub podcast out soon, they will cover all the games.

Replying To Lockjaw: "Yeah and I think Ardara having to travel up to Falcarragh is strange too." I was going to mention that also but didn't, surely there are better options for a county quarter final The keeper (Donegal) - Posts: 711 - 26/09/2023 13:50:16 2505841 Link

Yeah it's mad to make Ardara travel for that game. But I'd say what has happened is they've tried to tie teams up with their reserve teams! Looking forward to have a look at the Centre of Excellence Saturday evening. tickets (Donegal) - Posts: 103 - 26/09/2023 15:54:01 2505865 Link
Any word on if the games at the weekend will be Streamed? As for the the big game at the weekend I wasn't very confident when I saw the draw and I'm even less confident seeing as its in Fintra. I think Kilcar will be licking their lips in preparation for this and tbh I wouldn't be surprised if its a comfortable win for them. Obviously I hope not. naomh_conaill_4 (Donegal) - Posts: 499 - 26/09/2023 16:54:46 2505877 Link

Having St Eunans v Aodh Ruadh in convoy is a bit of a strange one as well unless maybe the centre of excellence. Wonder why they're not using mccumhail Park more Moyne7991 (Donegal) - Posts: 2 - 26/09/2023 20:48:55 2505903 Link

Replying To donegaldouble: "Why is it a joke. Its an open draw!!Just because you don't like who you got, doesn't mean the draw is wrong." What's the point of not seeding teams if you're having a round Robin???... totalrecall (Leitrim) - Posts: 1000 - 27/09/2023 09:14:04 2505930 Link
Replying To Lockjaw: "Getting down to the nitty-gritty now. It's going to be an interesting few weeks. The standout result for me over the weekend was Ardara's comprehensive win over Cloughaneely. Once again KJ Molloy was to the fore. Ardara are a proud and well run club so it's good to see them going well again after a few years battling in the relegation playoffs. Gaoth Dobhair will probably be favourites in that QF, but if they're missing Michael Carroll and Neil McGee, they'll be two big losses and Ardara will fancy another scalp. Kilar - Naomh Conaill is the standout fixture. There would still be a bit of residual bad blood there I'd say from the substitutions saga a few years ago. Kilcar have been going about their business quietly enough but have they closed the gap on Naomh Conaill? I'm not so sure. Naomh Conaill are such a tough nut to crack. I think it would take a massive performance for them to topple the champions, but it's certainly not beyond them. Eunans - Aodh Ruadh is another intriguing one. the AR lads are very fit and well set up. They'll be tough to break down but I just think they're lacking a marquee forward or two, to really trouble the big guns like Eunans or Glenties. They'll make Eunans work hard for it, but I just think that Kavanagh has so many options they'll eventually break AR down. Glenswilly - MacCumhaills is another interesting tie. We have the old master going up against possibly the new king. Gallen has been player of the championship for me. An outstanding talent who hopefully has put his injury worries behind him. This one is very hard to call. I'd just give Glenswilly the nod based on their know-how, in what could be a very tight game." Biggest problem for Aodh Ruadh is they have some decent forwards but have a manager who picks back and plays them as forwards. Eunans will mirror aodh ruadh set up and when that happens team with better players will always win totalrecall (Leitrim) - Posts: 1000 - 27/09/2023 09:16:44 2505931 Link
Replying To Lockjaw: "Yeah and I think Ardara having to travel up to Falcarragh is strange too." Strange venues., bringing eunans and aodh ruadh to convoy, ardara to falcarragh, Fintry for biggest game of weekend. Lads in cccccc playing a blinder! totalrecall (Leitrim) - Posts: 1000 - 27/09/2023 09:19:14 2505932 Link

I'd say they're worried it won't stand up to too many games greenfan (Donegal) - Posts: 586 - 27/09/2023 10:04:31 2505949 Link

But you never know, if Aodh Ruadh can contain them for 50-55 minutes and then throw off the shackles a bit? They almost did it to Gaoth Dobhair last year. But I think Eunans are on a mission this year and they'll progress. Lockjaw (Donegal) - Posts: 9541 - 27/09/2023 10:23:14 2505955 Link

Yeah that's the problem though. Fintra pitch is dead on, but it's not great for handling big crowds. God knows where everyone will park!

Kilcar v NC should be in Ballybofey, crazy decision to play it in Fintra. Tirchonaill1 (Donegal) - Posts: 3066 - 27/09/2023 11:44:13 2505972 Link
Replying To Lockjaw: "Yeah that's the problem though. Fintra pitch is dead on, but it's not great for handling big crowds. God knows where everyone will park!" Exactly, I have no problem with the actual pitch, it's a great gaa pitch. It's the parking and safety that's the problem, it will be a nightmare. It will draw a massive crowd, and it's not the biggest road into it, and on a corner. Which is dangerous for supporters walking to ground from car, and also drivers that are just out site seeing on a Sunday. The keeper (Donegal) - Posts: 711 - 27/09/2023 12:01:57 2505980 Link

Get Kilcar supporters to park up at the Blue Haven and run a shuttle bus down to Fintra. peiledoir20 (Donegal) - Posts: 1074 - 27/09/2023 12:03:07 2505981 Link
