Don't Donegal give Letterkenny and Ballyshannon a League game every year?

Ballyshannon 15 Vs Donegal 15 would be fairly one-sided you'd imagine!

Don't Donegal give Letterkenny and Ballyshannon a League game every year?

We do indeed. With O'Donnell Park in Letterkenny being very far from a fortress for us.

Don't Donegal give Letterkenny and Ballyshannon a League game every year?

Yes, and our record in Letterkenny is almost as bad as our record down in Kerry!

[J70]

Galway v Armagh - Galway - Galway at home will take the 2 points in a close enough game. Armagh to go down with Donegal


Tyrone v Derry - DRAW - we're shy a half back line, Tyrone shy a few forwards, though there's Dazzler, McElholm, Bradley, M Donnelly so they will still be v dangerous. Will be very interesting to see the Derry starting and finishing 15 on Sat evening


Dublin v Mayo  - Dublin- Dublin by a couple in a tight game


Kerry v Donegal - Kerry - highly doubt the Clifford will be rested this year. Donegal are being way over blown, McGuinness or no McGuinness, they do well to avoid relegation and get out of the 1/4s

Was listening to OTB and James O'Donoghue says the Cliffords aren't back yet, could be cute hoorism though. The Stacks and Crokes lads aren't going to feature either he says. So who knows. Think Donegal are ahead of Tyrone and Derry in terms of avoiding the drop.

Donegal are hard to beat at home, and that gives a platform for not getting relegated.
Armagh have 4 games at home, likewise a platform for not getting relegated.

Is Donegal's record in Ballyshannon similar to MacCumhaill Park?

Just checked, Donegal are playing all their home games in MacCumhaill Park except the Derry game which is in Ballyshannon...mon Jim, you're over thinking this

Would have thought they'd do the Derry game in Letterkenny, both to be neighbourly, but also due to the fact that we've a terrible record there. Might as well use that one to protect our hand for the more important stuff later!

Any chance of games being off at the weekend?

Any chance of games being off at the weekend?

Because of the wind?

Sunday the storm will have past, not as bad on the Sat

[Captain Obvious]

Will Saturday games get played on Sunday or called off until the 8th/9th of February?

Thought it was just Friday the weather is supposed to be bad?

[JoG2]

Thought it was just Friday the weather is supposed to be bad?

Looks the worst will be in the rear view mirror by Friday evening... Omagh will still be grim on Sat

It's generally grim the other 364

Given the team Kerry are likely to put out on Sunday Donegal should be winning if they are anywhere near full strength and harbour any ambitions this year. Kerry aiming to stay up and blood a lot of players in the league this year more or less.

Ah yes, it's that time of the year again ... where something in the Kerry DNA makes them feel that clumsy downplaying of their ambitions and prospects is required at every opportunity.

Happened last year too. We weren't meant to see the Clifford's until March. An opening night defeat to Derry and everyone was back for the next game.

Looks like I will be on an extended drive on Saturday, does anyone know if there will be radio commentary for the Armagh/Galway game, streamable overseas.

That's true and that was part of where things started to go pear shaped to be quite honest.

The Kerry team this Sunday will have no Cliffords, Tony Brosnan, Paul Geaney, Gavin White, Joe O'Connor, Dara Moynihan  from team that started semi final v Armagh last year plus Dylan Geaney, Cillian Burke, Dylan Casey, Stephen O'Brien who came on are unavailable. Evan Looney, Armin Heinrich, Joey Nagle, Keith Evans, Eddie Healy, Seán O'Brien who will all be involved at some stage are unavailable due to club or Sigerson commitments.
So as I said, it's going to be a very patched up Kerry team but it's still a good chance for the likes of Killian Spillane and some younger guys to show what they can do.
