Donegal club games continue
McGuinness’s request to have a deferral of the first-round ties in July fell on deaf ears. Following an aftermatch brawl in Glenties between Naomh Conaill and Glenswilly, county panellist Leo McLoone received a nasty facial injury that required surgery and forced him to miss the Ulster final. However, following Saturday’s enthralling 1-12 to 0-14 win over Kildare in the All-Ireland quarter-final, Donegal will not be in action until Sunday, August 28, when they will face either Dublin or Tyrone.
“Jim has given us the go ahead to play the games this weekend, the three quarter-finals and the one outstanding first round play-off game. Beyond that, we have not planned anything,” County Competitions Control chairman Charlie Cannon said.
