Naomh Padraig, Uisce Chaoin celebrate winning the Donegal JFC title in O'Donnell Park
Donegal Junior champions Naomh Padraig Uisce Chaoin will face Antrim champions St Comgall’s in Letterkenny on November 2 in the first round of the Ulster Junior Club championship.
St Comgall’s dealt with the elements better and survived a late scare to lift the Antrim Junior Football Championship, defeating St Agnes 0-09 to 1-03 on a wintry Saturday afternoon in Hightown last weekend.
Donegal side Naomh Padraig, Uisce Chaoin were promoted to the Donegal Intermediate championship for the first time in their history after securing the Junior title with a solid win over fellow Inishowen side Carndonagh in O’Donnell Park earlier this month.

It was a superb team effort from Daniel McCauley’s side with two first-half goals from Kevin Lynch and Caolan McColgan leading the way for the men in blue and gold in what was their first Donegal JFC final since 2016.
St Comgall’s have been in this competition before after winning the Antrim Junior championship three years ago, while this is a first step into the Ulster club competition for Naomh Padraig.
