Fr Seán Ó Gallchóir was a popular winner of €190 in last week’s CLG Ghaoth Dobhair’s 50/50 draw.
A native of Derrybeg, Fr Seán is the historian of Donegal GAA. He first compiled a twelve-page booklet in 1979 using his research into the newspaper archives of the Donegal Democrat, Donegal News and Derry Journal, which he personally gathered at their offices and compiled in scrapbooks. The Book of Donegal GAA Facts was first published in 1985, with issues following thereafter up to the present day.

Máire Ní Choilm, Dun Lúiche, was also a winner, taking home €206.
