All Stars back in the Big Apple

So many accomplished players have passed through the Donegal Boston ranks during the club’s first 25 years that the summer of a young Jim McGuinness doesn’t stand out as much as you’d think.

The club was still finding its feet at that stage, just over half a decade after Paddy McDevitt sat down with seven other fresh-off-the-boat Donegal immigrants in 1987 to set up a club for their people.

The county was widely represented among the founding members. There was McDevitt’s Fintown and Castlefin too. Creeslough, Ballyshannon, Glenswilly, Glenties and Downings.
