Naomh Conaill

The Naomh Conaill club lost one of it's leading lights, with the passing of Pat Eamonn Boyle, Glen Road last Thursday. Pat was a leader in the club, over his lifetime, as an excellent footballer, and later as a mentor, where he served as Chairman, and President, in his later years.

He was a driving force in the funding, and building of our spacious clubhouse, at the Davy Brennan Memorial Park. In his playing days, he was a member of a feared half-forward line, with Gerry Mc Dermott and Frankie Rogers, who all possessed, speed, and skill in abundance. We won our first county Vocational medal in 1968, with Pat starring in most of our games. He represented Donegal at minor level under Brian Mc Eniff in 1968/69, and played a few challenge games for the Donegal senior team in the late 60s.

He married Barbara A Dala, (O’Donnell) and they had five lovely daughters, Ciara, Barbara, Finola, Irene, and Niamh, and two sons, John and Eamonn. He was a great family man, and will be sorely missed by all of his family.

The proudest day Pat had recently, was when the Naomh Conaill players arrived in his home with the Dr. Maguire cup, which brought tears of joy to his eyes. “We have her”, he shouted. He was blue and white to his core, and loved watching this present squad, who have brought such pride to our club. Pat was the winner of the Donegal Democrat Team of the Millennium competition, picking 14 of the team, showing his great knowledge of all things GAA.

God rest you, Pat, and sincere condolences to Barbara, and all the family. Ar dheis De go raibh a anam.

Na nDúnaibh

Tá sé deas a bheith ar ais agus cúpla scéal a thabhairt díbh maidir le cumann peile na nDúnaibh. Tá mé cinnte, le tamall anuas, go bhfaca duine ar bith a chuaigh thart leis an pháirc peile go bhfuil scaifte peileadóirí, idir fhir is mhná, faoi-aois is sinsear amuigh ar na páirceanna achan tráthnóna. Is cinnte go raibh lúchair mhór ar na peileadóirí uilig fáil amach ar na páirceanna arís le peil a imirt.

Beidh cluiche mór sna Dúnaibh tráthnóna Dé Sathairn nuair a imreos an fhoireann áitiúil in éadan Ghleann tSúilí. Seo cluiche sraithe, cha bhíonn an chraobh ag toiseacht go ceann tamall eile.

A large crowd is expected in Downings on Sunday to watch the Downings v Glenswilly match which is the first match in the league. We have a new format in which division 1 and division 2 teams from the North-West are in the same group. Of course a big crowd is expected because the GAA’s top player Micheal Murphy will be here with Glenswilly to display his great array of skills. Gach rath ar na Dúnaibh.

Comhghairdeas mór le girseachaí na nDúnaibh a rinne an turas fada go Gleann Cholm Cille maidin Dé Domhnaigh ina gcéad chluiche craoibhe i ngrád Sóisir A, áit a bhfuair siad an bhuaidh ar an fhoireann baile, Naomh Columba leis an scór 6—10 go 4—10. Moladh speisialta do Shannon Nic Rodaigh a fuair 4—6 de scór na nDúnaibh. Sin éacht.

We wish the management and the team further success as the championship progresses. They are a very dedicated group of players and are training very hard. Maith sibh a ghirseachaí.

Chuir CLG na nDúnaibh iarratas chuig Bord na Contae, go dtabharfaí cead dóibh nascadh le Gaeil Fhánada i ngrád na mionúr.Tá seo a dhéanamh acu mar nach bhfuil an painéal atá acu mór go leor le páirt a ghlacadh sna comórtais. Tá an dá chumann sásta go dtarlódh seo, tá sé ag brath anois ar chinneadh Bhord na Contae.

Junior Hurling Championship - Four Masters v Letterkenny Gaels - 19/07/20: Four Masters 5:08, Letterkenny Gaels 1:06. On a day of pleasant summer weather and on an immaculate pitch, it was great to see a Four Masters hurling team taking the field in Tir Conaill Park in championship action for the first time in many years. After some early wides from both sides, Four Masters struck for a goal and a point before Letterkenny Gaels registered their first point after 15 minutes. The home side pushed on from there and put in a powerful 2nd quarter to lead 3:06 to 0:04 at half time. In the 3rd quarter Four Masters notched another another 2 goals and 1 point before the Gaels hit their first point of the second half. Both sides traded scores for the remainder of the game, but in truth the home team never allowed the visitors to get a foothold in the game thereafter.

Next up for Four Masters is an away game to Carndonagh and they will be hoping to drive on from this great start and deliver another strong performance.
