THERE ARE JUST two teams standing in the Michael Murphy Sports & Leisure Donegal SFC following last Sunday’s semi-finals.
Glenswilly are in their fifth final in 10 years following a workmanlike 0-9 to 0-7 win over Malin at O’Donnell Park on Sunday. The side managed by Michael Canning are aiming for a third ever Dr Maguire, having been crowned champions in 2011 and in 2013.

Michael Murphy scored four points as Glenswilly did just enough to overcome the plucky challenge of Malin, who were the only Division 2 side left in the competition.
Then, that evening at MacCumhaill Park in Ballybofey, Kilcar reached a first senior final in 23 years with a comprehensive defeat of last year’s champions, Naomh Conaill.

Naomh Conaill got off to a dream start with Leo McLoone scoring an early goal but in an eventful contest, both goalkeepers – Stephen McGrath from Naomh Conaill and Kilcar’s Eamonn McGinley – saved penalties at the Towne End.
