Just a spectating role for Seamus Coleman in Donegal Town
After much speculating leading up to the game between Four Masters and Killybegs in the Donegal senior championship, Seamus Coleman was not togged out but was there supporting the team.
Speculation that Coleman might play some part for Killybegs began to gather momentum during the week. It was first mentioned on Owenea Radio on Sunday night last with James McBrearty fairly confident that the former Everton man might make an appearance.
Coleman has been training with Killybegs but that it not unusual as he normally does that when on a break during the summer.
Coleman has had a much bigger break than normal this year as his contract with Everton ended with the 2025/26 season. However, he is likely to get a new contract with a number of clubs interested in getting his signature.
The Ireland captain has also intimated that he would like to play in the Euros in two years’ time so it was probably a big ask to say that he would turn out for his local GAA club with the soccer season across channel about to start.
But no doubt the rumours will continue this week as Killybegs have their second game in the group stages at home in Fintra next week against Dungloe and those rumours will help to swell the crowds heading to Eamonn Byrne Memorial Park.
Killybegs lost out to Four Masters by 0-15 to 0-10 after leading by 0-7 to 0-5 at half-time.
