Ethan O'Donnell on his way home for the final I hear.

The intermediate Final was a cracker. Carn could have won it with the last shot of the game and the crowd were so involved in the last few plays, it was great championship stuff.

Kevin Lynch was outstanding in the 1st half and won the motm with his 1st half performance id say. At 6 foot 7 he is a great fielder of a ball and his 2 pointer from about 48m out was excellent. With Jim in the stand watching I wonder if Lynch or any of the other lads from Carn or Muff might get a shout for trials next year?

I would say he'll be back in Summer Bay before long.

He is only back for 2-3 weeks and I cannot see him playing on Sunday.
What message would that send to the rest of the panel that has put in the hard yards over league and championship.
Great club player for us over the years, but in order for him to have a chance of playing this season he needed to come back at the latest after the group stage.
But as I said previously, he owes the club nothing.
I am hoping for a naomh conail victory Sunday, but I have to admit, I don't know what to expect and I know eunans are a all round good team. It will be another step up from Glenswilly in the semi.

Ethan will play a part Sunday as Jack and ordhran doc are not 100% fit so Ethan will come in at some part but no from the start.

Confirmed this morning. Huge loss to the county side. But nobody will begrudge him the move and we wish him all the best.

If Naomh Conaill win on Sunday they will now be without the services of Eoghan McGettigan, Kieran Gallagher and Finbar Roarty in Ulster which will be a tough.

I do think even still both teams on Sunday have to look at Ulster and it being realistic target this year with the squads they have.

Bad news from a Donegal perspective but an exciting adventure to look forward to for Finbarr himself. Best of luck to him. I wonder when initial contact was made with Finbarr. Personally speaking I don't think he was near the levels this year he set the previous year. The Under 20 semi final and Cork game come to mind in particular.....was this a factor? Outstanding player and a huge loss regardless but we've got away light compared to the likes of Kerry and even Mayo with Kobe and Mullin.
