Scoil Cholmcille, Letterkenny and Raphoe Central NS crowned county champions
Scoil Cholmcille, Letterkenny (boys) and Raphoe Central NS (girls) were crowned County Champions in the large schools section of the Donegal 7s on a very wet day at the Letterkenny Community Centre.
This annual competition, generously sponsored by Arena 7, once again showcased the very best of primary school football.
Four schools took part in the girls’ showdown: Raphoe Central NS, Kilmacrennan NS, Scoil Mhuire gan Smál, and St. Mary’s B&C Stranorlar.
Raphoe came out on top after a very competitive day of football. Kilmacrennan NS finished strongly to clinch the runners-up spot.
A special mention goes to Raphoe's Maisie McGonagle, who was named Player of the Tournament for her outstanding performances throughout.
Four evenly matched teams - Scoil Cholmcille Letterkenny, Dooish NS, Glenswilly NS, and Scoil Bhríde Convoy - battled it out in the boys’ section.
A superb second-half equalising strike from Femi Gallagher for Scoil Cholmcille, in their final match against Scoil Bhríde Convoy, secured the title after a competitive battle between the top teams on the day.
Shay Daly of Scoil Cholmcille earned Player of the Tournament honours following a series of impressive displays on the day.
A huge thank you to Enda Nicholls and all at Arena 7, who have generously supported this competition for many years. Special mention to coordinators Gerry McGroarty, Barry Tourish, Marty McGarrigle, and the FAI Schools Donegal Primary Committee for organising such a well‑run and enjoyable day of football.
