Kilcar

So you can't take anything for granted in knockout football and we're at that point right now where any one of the remaining teams on their day can beat anybody else.

Yeah, definitely interesting.

And do you know what? We'll just jump into Kilcary then.

You mentioned there, John, that leave Colombo.

Again, this was supposed to be straightforward because this is now knockout championship, Gary.

They were another one from four teams.

You know they'd won one and people saying how can you get through with one one well they're proving you know there's not a lot between a lot of the teams in Donegal when you look at that.

you know from talking to a couple of Kilkara people in the build up to the game they were actually fearful and I was like why are you fearful the last time we played them was 2005 and they actually beat us so it was in the championship and said it's a local derby and I said but you're at home surely that'll be enough but they were right you know to be fearful and it was there for them going down the home straight Aaron Doherty had a couple of great twos and they had a had a free closer in than the ones Aaron nailed and I don't know why he didn't go and had that last one because that would have brought an extra time in but listen Ray McHugh stepped up so he did what he needed and I've seen Kilcarr a couple of times this year and I've been really impressed by him you know when we talked about Michael Langen the last game like the county players are really stepping up the county players are

That's something that I haven't seen Niamh Connell do regularly to teams.

Yesterday against Kilcar, great battle as you would expect down at Townie and pulled away in the last few minutes.

So they can win it either way now when you look at them.

dog it out they have the experience they have the know-how how to dog it out but they also have the quality and when these Dardy lads get moving and Max and Shane Malone just looks to be playing brilliant football throughout the club championship so probably player of the championship so far kind of thing looks really good so they just have talent all over the pitch and it's going to take a big big big performance to take them down Brendan

Kilcar, they're continuing their charge.

They're in great form.

Beating Fulmaster is a great result.

...

Kilcar GAA and Donegal GAA our, our deepest condolences.

Really, really, uh, really, really sad times up there, unfortunately, at the minute.

Uh, we're gonna take a quick break.

They got a goal then before half-time, and then they kind of got a goal straight after half-time, which really took them back into the game.

But look, you know yourself, when Kilkar get that much of a lead on you, you're doing well to pull them back.

And like you say, Glenfin came back to five points, but... for Kilcarr, you know, their first day out and that, they would have been just glad to get over the line and that.

You mentioned Jack Haggerty, you know, they have Michael Gallagher in there too.

This year, you know, Declan Gallagher's young fella, a good scoring forward.

You're supposed to have the championship games you want, aren't you?

They're the championship games you want.

Yeah, I suppose every other team that played in Round 3, you didn't know who you were playing, Kilcarr and Four Masters, who they will have in the last game.

He loved going to games, regardless of who was playing, and we talked GAA for hours.

On Thursday, we witnessed another GAA community in mourning as Joe and I ret- retook a journey we made just two months ago to Kilcar for the wedding of Diarmuid Nash and Emma McHugh, this time for the wake of Emma's parents, Noreen and James.

Life can be so incredibly cruel at times and so much can change in an instant.
