Donegal GAA

Yeah, yeah.

So John, you've been involved in GAA at some amount of time between playing and teams.

Where does this kinda rank? Is it, is it better now, the Masters, 'cause the lads know themselves, know what they're about? Is it a better kinda group to be involved in as yous maybe not, maybe when you're trying to guide people and that.

You couldn't tell these boys too much now, could you?

They scored the first point in the second half, too, and you really thought at that point, this is nearly game over, which is a silly thing to ever put in your head.

in any game of GAA because Setanta, of course, being Setanta, wealth of experience, they fought their way back, but it really looked like the clock was going to beat them.

It came right down to three points in it, a late scramble, Sean Ward got the lack of a puck back of the net.

At that point, it was advantage Setanta.

They've won the Junior, won the Intermediate back-to-back, and they only lost by a point.

determined but certainly a novel pair now coming into the final because no one was expecting Cedunas to be there so a massive victory for them so good weekend for Cedunas

Brilliant stuff now if you are so inclined you can go and watch every one of the men's club semi-finals quarter-finals next week the seniors because they're well staggered I think so Brendan Kilcoyne is going to be in previewing what's going to be a fantastic weekend in the men's senior GAA game

Yeah, this is some fantastic eyes in store, pick winners in this.

Mm

... and says, "This is, we sh- probably should've done this, we should've done that now." But I definitely, um, if yous are looking for a column in the Irish News to chat about Donegal, [laughs] Donegal GAA, in terms of the county team-

Mm

...

... to, to take on now, I'll be brutally honest.

And you, like, you obviously, you're weighing that up and you're just deciding that the relationship's far more important than saying the thing that I don't really need to say.

I, uh, but at the same time, I'm not judging anybody that does, that's involved with Donegal GAA and having a go.

Mm.

It was just like someone put in a thing recently there into another WhatsApp group that I'm in with Jimmy McGuinness staying on as Donegal manager.

And Mary Coughlin, the Donegal GA chairperson, was quoted.

And I'm there, is that Mary? It's Mary Coughlin,

the former Taughness day.

Is it? Chairperson of Donegal GA.

Really? Yeah.

She's not from Donegal.

And there's free admission entertainment every weekend.

Welcome to the DL Debate for another installment of Donegal GE.

It's crunch time in the club championships as we hit the quarterfinal stage.

Later in the show, we're going to talk to Maureen O'Donnell.

us? Listen, Guido, you know, the championship pedigree and the tradition down there, you know they're going to come good when it does get to the business end of the championship, and yeah, they haven't been setting the world alight, scraped through again yesterday kind of thing, couple of players back for them, and It's been a difficult enough campaign despite winning the Gaeltacht early on in the year.

They struggled a lot in the league, so they did.

But I think when you're long enough around Donegal football and you understand the intricacies of it, Brendan, you know that Guido are going to be there at the fighting end of the championship.

By all means, we're getting to that stage now, so we are.
