Johnny McGroddy (Downings)
Johnny McGroddy had the most spectacular finish to the All-County Football League when compared to any other player in the county, with his last ditch goal direct from a free-kick for Downings against Malin on Sunday last sealing the Division 2 title on a 1-16 to 1-15 scoreline.
Last year he helped Downings to the Donegal JFC crown and onto the Ulster JFC Club final, where they lost out to Denn from Cavan. A bit like his club, his form has continued right through into the new year with only a minimal break last Christmas. He was a vital part of Donegal’s U-20 team this year under Gary Duffy and before Downings’ first top flight excursion since 1991 next season, will be a vital player alongside his stablemate Lorcan Connor in the Donegal IFC.
