Donegal sides learn their fate as Comórtas Peile na Gaeltachta draw is made

The draws for the Comórtas Peile na Gaeltachta have been made, which will get the 2024 GAA and LGFA club seasons underway in Donegal.

Tá an tarraingt déanta do chomórtas Peile na Gaeltachta agus cuirfidh seo tús le séasúr 2024 do CLG agus Comórtas Peil na mBan.

This year’s domestic finals will take place on May Bank Holiday weekend in Falcarragh, with host club Cloich Cheannfhaola earning a bye to the senior and junior semi-finals.

Beidh na cluichí ceannais ar siúl ar an Fhál Carrach i an rith deireadh seachtaine saoire bainc mí Bhealtaine. D’éirigh le Cloich Cheannfhaola fáil tríd chuig na cluichí leath-ceannais cheanna féin.

There was a meeting of the National Committee Comórtas Naisiunta Peile na Gaeltachta on Saturday last, which confirmed that last year's winners, male and female, will not be allowed entry into the national competition as before. Only the county winners will take part in 2024

Bhí cruinniú den Coiste Náisiúnta Comórtas Naisiúnta Peile na Gaeltachta ar an Sátharn 3ú
lá agus deimhníodh nach cheadófar do bhuaiteoirí na bliana seo caite, fir agus mná, iontráil
sa chomórtas náisiúnta mar a bhí roimhe seo. Is é na bhuaiteoirí contae amháin a bheas pairteach i 2024.

Naomh Conaill were winners of the Donegal senior competition last year, defeating St Michael’s 0-13 to 1-8 at the Banks.

Fuair Naomh Conaill an lámh in uachtar ar Naomh Micheál anuraidh i gcluiche ceannais Dhún na nGall leis an scór Naomh Conaill 0-13 agus Naomh Micheál 1-8 i Mullach Dearg.

In the LGFA competition, Donegal winners Termon proved to be far too strong against Galway Gaeltacht champions Maigh Cuilinn in the national final. In this year’s local championship, there will be no chance of a final between Termon and traditional rivals Glenfin, as both are on the same side of the draw.

Bhí an bhua leis An Tearmann i gcomórtas Peil na mBan in aghaidh Mhaigh Cuilinn as Gaillimh sa chraobh ceannais anuraidh. Nil seans ar bith go gcasfaí foirne Gleann Fhinne agus an Tearmann ar a chéile i mbliana sa chluiche ceannais ach tá seans ann go gcasfaí siar ar a chéile sna cluichí leath cheannais.
