THE DONEGAL COUNTY BOARD has confirmed details for a bumper weekend of Football Championship action.
Admission prices for the two RTE Raidio na Gaeltachta Senior Football Championship semi-finals have been reduced to €10, with both fixtures having important curtain raisers to set the tone at Sean MacCumhaill Park (pictured above).
On Saturday evening at 5.45pm, Milford and Aodh Ruadh will meet in an Intermediate Football Championship quarter-final replay with the winners joining Naomh Colmcille, Gaeil Fhánada and Bundoran in the semi-finals.
The feature match on Saturday is the senior semi-final meeting of St Eunan’s, the defending champions, and St Michael’s at 7.30pm in a repeat of semis in 2006 and 2014, both of which were won by St Eunan’s.
On Sunday, Kilcar and Naomh Conaill clash in the second semi-final at 3.30pm.
