Naomh Conaill definitely died with there boots on, poor first half and one hell of a second half. I have to admire Anthony Thomson, did it all and one of the best players on the field. The two Doherty's and McKelvey missing definitely told at times, three experienced championship players, especially Ultan with man marking Niall O'Donnell, he got that bit more room with Ultan out. Also McKelvey's calmness on the ball and usually chips in with one or two scores. The keeper (Donegal) - Posts: 711 - 22/09/2024 19:06:11 2571293 Link 0 |
How about St. Michaels, thought they were dead and buried with that penalty but a great save from McGinley and they turn it around miraculously. Was mentioned on the commentary but I wonder would Langan be tempted back if it was feasible for the semi final which is very winnable, with no disrespect to Dungloe who were great against Glenswilly and are a very physical side.

The feeling in Dungloe is that this is just as winnable for us too.

Wouldn't doubt that, I'd say both teams are delighted to have avoided Gaoth Dobhair and Eunans especially. Hopefully they both go for it and don't sit back.

Finbarr Roarty is some player for an 18 year old. ThroughTheGap (Donegal) - Posts: 42 - 23/09/2024 10:00:40 2571390 Link 0 |
Big upset from St.Michaels at the weekend. I am hearing that after the draw was made last night Langan got the flight booked and back home by Wednesday. Massive lift to them this weekend SpidersWeb97 (Donegal) - Posts: 7 - 23/09/2024 10:06:48 2571394 Link 0 |
A few surprising results over the weekend with Dungloe and St. Michaels earning great victories. Each will fancy their chances of making county final day now. If Michael Langan was available for St. Michaels then it might tip the scales in their favour, but that remains to be seen. Lockjaw (Donegal) - Posts: 9511 - 23/09/2024 11:12:59 2571421 Link 0 |
Thought the same myself, looked great especially in the second half

Better team won on Saturday night for sure. I have watched and rewatched the winning score and still can't understand how Eoin McGeehan got so much room to kick that point. Also credit to him for the score he scored from the corner he has no right to go for that what so ever nevermind score it. naomh_conaill_4 (Donegal) - Posts: 495 - 23/09/2024 16:03:28 2571479 Link 0 |
The one in the corner from the acute angle was Ciaran Moore. Was fairly quiet by his recent standards but stepped up with that massive score at a vital time. Eunans were flying first half, should have been further ahead, watched their management team at half time, took ages to go off, seemed to be reviewing stats on ipads. Looking at them you would think they were behind and needed a new plan. I think nowadays these management teams are over-thinking the game, sometimes the message just needs to be to keep playing the way u are.

Thought the same. Eunans were playing it around the periphery and it looked like Naomh Conaill had their familiar defensive block in place. Next thing McGeehin appeared to just ghost into space, and Eunans quickly found him. Two Glenties men belatedly reacted, and almost got to him in time, but McGeehin did very well to snap the shot away from a difficult enough angle and distance. A great score all things considered.

Was chatting to a Carn lad today and he was saying the two Newton men scored five points between them which made the Convoy score a wee bit presentable. Whateveryourhavingyourself (Donegal) - Posts: 56 - 23/09/2024 22:49:46 2571536 Link 0 |
Mogan shackled the best playmaker in the country whilst still contributing to carries up the pitch and chance creation. Would have been nice for another player to have done the job for him and Mogan to have contributed further up the pitch, but that's not what he was told to do. After McColgan went off, Finnerty and Mogan were rarely seen for the rest of the match, which in my book is a brilliant defensive performance from the Naomh Naille man.

Nice of them to experience playing knock out football with Convoy all the same. As with Devenney in Eunans, Farmer in Gweedore etc etc.

For a club with big numbers what's happening to yous. Should be winning junior championships regularly.

Young Roarty from NC looks a serious prospect as well. I think where we're lacking is really dangerous inside forwards who unfortunately are becoming a bit of a dying breed with the way the game has gone. Lockjaw (Donegal) - Posts: 9511 - 24/09/2024 16:43:07 2571648 Link 0 |
Saw a number of sfc games, a few of the u20 players definitely impressed in games I took in - Callum Mc Crea, Karl Magee, Conor Reid, Conor Mc Ginty and Finbar Roarty the ones that stood out. Colin McFadden from St Michaels, Aodhan Breathnach and Seamus Og Byrne impressed as well. donegalgael-12 (Donegal) - Posts: 9 - 24/09/2024 17:47:31 2571655 Link 0 |
