St Eunan's won't forget the year 2021 for a long time and last night at the Mount Errigal Hotel in Letterkenny, the O'Donnell Park club held their presentations as part of their dinner dance.
Tyrone's two-time All-Ireland winner Peter Canavan was the club's special guest, with Brendan Devenney the MC as their six adult championship winning panels, as well as a host of individuals, picked up their awards.
St Eunan's U-21 hurlers, senior reserve footballers, U-21 footballers, ladies intermediate winners, senior hurlers and seniors footballers were all presented with their medals.
Caolan Ward was the club's player of the year, with the full-back also chosen by the Donegal media to win a separate award, the Séamus Mac Géidigh Memorial Award, which was presented on the night by Cathal Greene - the award is given to the best player in the club championship in memory of the much-loved and respected RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta broadcaster Séamus Mac Géidigh who passed away suddenly in July 2016.
The Exceptional Achievement Award was presented to Cormac Finn, the dual player who won five championships last year, with Máire Greene the Club Person of the Year, while Charlie Mulgrew was inducted into the club's Hall of Fame
