The Donegal team who were runners up in 2019
This year's delayed All-Ireland Pool Championships will see upwards of 50 players representing Donegal in the various categories.
In the main men's event, Donegal will seek to go one better than last time out, when they had an inspiring run all the way to the final only to be defeated by a very strong Wexford outfit.
The county will also have teams competing the Intermediate and Junior sections of the men's competitions.
The Donegal ladies' team are also expected to compete for honours and have had a number of their players represent their country in recent times. Two teams will travel to compete in the over fifties event and Donegal are also well represented at U-23 level.
The competitions take place from Wednesday, September 1 to Sunday, September 5 in the Gleneagles Hotel, Killarney. Since the formation of the Donegal Pool Association a number of teams have come very close to capturing a national title; hopefully the breakthrough will finally happen this year.
In other news, Donegal men's captain, Shaun Sharkey, competed in the Ultimate Pool Masters recently which was televised live on Free Sports TV. In what was an exciting, free-flowing match, he was somewhat unlucky to lose to England international, Rob Wharne, on a scoreline of eight frames to five.
Members of the Inishowen Palestine Solidarity Campaign are among those who will take part in the Long March for Gaza on September 13, with the public urged to join in.
The open competition is welcoming both ladies and gents, with entry priced at €20 per person
