Tá fáilte róibh go léir chuig na cluichí leathcheannais
iosghradú a bhéas ar siul an deireadh seachtaine seo.
Is am an-deacair é seo d’imreoirí, lucht bainistiochta,
oifigigh agus lucht féachana agus tá áthas ar CLG Dhún
na nGall a bheith in ann na cluichí leathcheannais seo

You are all very welcome to this weekend’s relegation
semi-finals in the junior and senior championships.
Unfortunately, one of the four games scheduled had to
be postponedd for a week as a precautionay measure as a result of Covid-19.
We have battled against the change in our lifestyles, our work , our social fabric,
our families, and our sporting involvement. The GAA has seen many changes
since its foundation, and it has originated from the roots and soul of our Gaelic
traditions, but no member could have foreseen the changes wrought by Covid-19.
The year 2020 will certainly remain in our memories as the year of
transformation, and we continue to implement the many prevention measures
required to keep this virus at bay. I encourage you all to continue the great
work that we have all had a part to play in, and I thank you for the many hours
of voluntary assistance you have contributed in your Club areas in assisting the
HSE and others, in bringing safe and healthy practice to vulnerable and lonely
members of our communities.
On behalf of the GAA in Donegal I thank the frontline workers who have given so
much to helping our society, in facing the challenge of the coronavirus. There was
a period this year where we all thought that we wouldn’t get playing our games,
but many difficulties were overcome to reach these championship playoffs. We
have not agreed with all the instructions and regulations, but we respect the
decision makers for their fight against this unprecedented virus while still getting
our games played.
The County Competition Control Committee (CCC) have used new regulations,
competition formats, and workmanlike decision making to reach this stage of
championship, and we are all delighted to see the championship finalised in
these difficulty times. I congratulate all Clubs who have continued to contribute
to giving us the opportunity to see Gaelic games played in changed and difficult
times. The streaming of our games is a new phase and challenge that we have
been thrown into, and we have tech-knowledgeable members getting to grips
with this new way of bringing our club games into our homes.
I wish the eight competing teams, across the four games, and the match Officials,
the best of luck.

Two Cracking Senior Championship Relegation Semi-finals in Prospect
The fight to avoid the relegation places in the Michael Murphy Sports and Leisure Senior
Championship went down to the final day of the competition with eight teams in danger
of landing in the bottom four places. Wins for St Nauls and Killybegs hauled them both
clear of the Relegation play-offs. Glenswilly had a narrow escape as Baile na nGalloglach
drew with Na Ceithre Maistír to push the Donegal town side clear and leave the Milford
side on just one league point -an extra point on the pitch to give them victory would have
put them ahead of Glenswilly on points difference.
With a negative points difference of only 16 points Dungloe lost their first three games
narrowly but a powerful second half performance from Killybegs in their final game
condemned them to the play-offs. Neither Ardara nor Termon were treated kindly by
the draw. Ard an Rátha put in credible performances against three quarterfinalists - with
narrow losses to Sean MacCumhaills and St Michaels and getting closer to Naomh Conaill
than any other team. However, they never got started against Realt na Mara, not helped
by a star performance by Realt keeper Ashley Mulhearn. A young Termon side were
unfortunate to meer both Kilcar and Naomh Conaill and stumbled against Naomh Naille
in their final game - they were, however, short of a couple of their more experienced
forwards in that game.
With the final placings throwing up regional rivals in both semi-finals parish pride
combined with the fight for Senior Championship final should guarantee two cracking
matches.

The Knock-Out Stages and Streaming
The Government’s decision to play all Gaelic Games behind closed doors until September 13th is dis-appointing
for all club members and other supporters. Ironically, CLG Dhún na nGall scheduled knock-out games for
September because the original government roadmap designated the start of that month for the return of up to
5,000 supporters at our games. As Iron Mike said “everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face”.
The GAA is a widespread grassroots organisation and it is important in these difficult times that CLG Dhún na
nGall do their utmost to look after the interests of the members and supporters who make clubs throughout
the County the excellent community organisations they are. As such, the County Board is striving to broadcast
most of the 33 knockout games in the Michael Murphy Sports & Leisure Senior, Intermediate and Junior
championships – football and hurling. Kudos to Aodh Ruadh and Setanta who stepped up to the mark last
weekend to stream the Junior Hurling semi-finals on their own Facebook pages.
This weekend CLG Dhún na nGall intend to stream four Senior and four Intermediate Championship quarterfinals
and three Relegation play-off games as follows:
Fri Sept 4th 8.30 - Ard na Ratha v An Clochán Liath in association with Ocean FM - Paddy McGill and Francie Friel
Sat Sept 5th 12.00 - Aodh Ruadh v Naomh Muire in association with RnaG - Damien O’Donaill and Sylvester Maguire
Sat Sept 5th 13.00 - Naomh Colmcille v An Bheart with commentary from Damien Dowds and Paul McGonigle

Sun Sept 6th 13.00 - Naomh Bríd v Naomh Ultan with commentary from Ryan Walsh and Pat Campbell
Sun Sept 6th 15.00 - Gaoth Dobhair v Sean MacCumhaill in association with RnaG - Damien O’Donnell agus Danny

Sun Sept 6th 18.30 -Naomh Ádhamhnáin v Realt na Mara in association with Highland Radio - Oisin Kelly and Brendan
Kilcoyne
All of these games are available on a PPV basis - €3 per game - via the Donegal GAA website.
It is planned to stream subsequent games over the rest of September although the latter end of the current
schedule may be subject to change, moving forward or backwards, depending on future circumstances. While
many clubs have been happily streaming over the last seven weeks, Donegal GAA streamed its first 2020 game
on August 23rd - the Round 4 football game between St Eunans and St Michaels. The live stream attracted peak-
viewing of over a 1,000 and within a few days had been viewed over 15,000 times on the Official Donegal Facebook
page.
The knock-out games streamed by the County Board will be on a PPV basis. The quarterfinals will cost €3 and other
games €5 except for the Senior football final which will be €8. The PRO will produce a series of “virtual programmes” -
such as this one - that can be can be consulted on-line or downloaded/printed. Programmes will be included in the PPV
price or free where there is no PPV as is the case with this Virtual Programme.While the County Board will endeavour to
stream all knockout games where this is not possible it is hoped other games can be streamed with the help of clubs.
At this point, it is appropriate to express my gratitude to the many clubs that have streamed games (for free) and looked
after the interests of their supporters locally, elsewhere in Ireland and overseas over recent weeks. The County Board
will forego revenue on games where clubs are providing the voluntary help and will stream these games for free. For all
streamed games, and the “free” ones in particular, it is worth noting that streaming in the County is still in its infancy,
there may be occasional issues with consistent coverage in some venues and it is being provided by local, unpaid
volunteers - people should manage their expectation around this. Finally thank you to the commentators - as above -
and the four stream teams - described elsewhere in this programme who have made this venture possible.

Local rivalries will add spice to Intermediate Championship Relegation semi-finals
None of the bottom four teams going into final Round of games in the Intermediate
Championship picked up points on the last day of the league games so all four - Naomh
Brid, Naomh Colmcille, Burt and Naomh Ultan - find themselves in the relegation play-
offs. Both games are local derbies with Naomh Bríd taking on Naomh Ultan and Naomh
Colmcille playing Burt and the latter in particular, between neighbouring clubs, will be
keenly contested.
With a win against Naomh Ultan in Round 1, Naomh Colmcille might have expected to
progress to the quarterfinals but subsequent losses to Malin and Naomh Muire left the
daunting task of beating table-toppers Buncrana in their final game. After losses in their
first two games, Naomh Brid’s win over Burt gave tem a fighting chance on the long trip
to Falcarragh but despite a brave struggle Cloich Cheann Fhaola claimed the win. Both
Burt and Naomh Ultan went into the final day winless but still with outside chances of
breaking free of the bottom four. Both had some advantage but Naomh Columba proved
too strong for the Inishowen side and Rd Hughs came away with the poins in Dunkineely.
All four teams will be queitly confident going into this weekend’s games and their fans
can look forward to two cracking ties. The Naomh Bríd-Naomh Ultan game will be
streamed from Páirc Thír Chonaill and commentary will be provided by Ryan Walsh and
Pat Campbell, manager of the Four Masters Senior team. The Scarvey fixture will also be
streamed and commentary for Naomh Colmcille will be from Damien Dowds and Paul

12Burt v Naomh Colmcille - Local Derby with a Difference
Gerard McLaughlin
Shaun Murphy’s Burt will face Joe Donaghy’s Naomh Colmcille this
Saturday afternoon in the Scarvey with the winner securing their place in
the Intermediate Championship for another season, while the loser will have
to face either Naomh Brid or Naomh Ultan for one last crack at avoiding the
Junior Championship in 2021.
Needless to say, it has been a poor season to date for both sides, with Naomh
Colmcille winning one game and losing three, while Burt lost all four, on what was the more difficult
side of the draw.
Naomh Colmcille made the quarter final last season, before eventually losing out to Cloughaneely,
while Burt managed to beat Naomh Ultan to retain their status at intermediate level.
It’s clear that the Newtown men have missed Michael Lynch, following his attempted transfer to
Gaoth Dobhair and Donaghy will look to the likes of Daniel Clarke and Ryan McErlean to drive his
side on this weekend.
Burt should be able to call on the services of danger man Christy McDermott after injury and Mur-
phy will be hoping that the big man can lead his side to victory over their neighbours on Saturday.

Naomh Bríd slight favourites in Páirc Thír Chonaill on Sunday
Naomh Brid and Naomh Ultan are fighting for more than retention
of their Intermediate Championship on Sunday when they meet in the
relegation play-off in Tirconaill Park at 1 pm.
These two sides started the season on a high when both claimed the
scalp of Four Masters in the Regional League.
Naomh Brid had one win in the championship league section, at home to Burt, but were
competitive in the other games, tough encounters at home to Aodh Ruadh and difficult away
games in Glencolmcille and Cloughaneely.
They parted with their manager, Dougie Corbett, after the first defeat in Glen.
Naomh Ultan have found the going tough after losing big full-forward Alan Lyons to injury
in their opening game against Naomh Colmcille. it was the first of four defeats and they go
into Sunday's game as the underdogs. They may need the second play-off game to survive in
the Intermediate grade.
Streaming the game is C-Live Sport which consists of Hugh Quirke on Camera and Sean
Quirke looking after all technical aspects of the live stream, including switchers, graphics,
score, etc,
Hugh and Sean have a combined tenure in the video-graphy business of
over 50 years. Together they aim to bring live streams, of the highest
possible quality, of sporting events at a local and national level to the
general population.
