benny pt 6-7
danny Hughes with another wide

Down wasteful again.  6-6 Donegal free made by McEnaney.

Marellous Marty with a free from 50 yes

Mckernan pt.5-5

McEnaney has just led the Donegal team out for thesecond half

Coulter off injured, went for a 50/50 ball. Two poor teams on a wet night. Pat McEnaney probably Donegals best player. Downs old failings coming back to haunt them.
Apparently we have the Orange County ref again next week. Down really need to get their act together in the second half.

Www.highlandradio.com usually covers Donegal games. If not I will update the latest scores thread.

[Wolf Tones music at Orange march sees driver fined]

Wolf Tones music at Orange march sees driver fined

Playing Irish rebel music as he passed an Orange parade has landed a Londonderry motorist a suspended three-month prison sentence and a £250 fine.

Sean Johnston, 27, of Holymount Park, admitted behaviour likely to cause a breach of the peace and disorderly behaviour on 13 July last year.

He was arrested after driving past parade supporters on Spencer Road, while loudly playing Wolfe Tones music.

District Judge Barney McElholm said it was a "seriously stupid action".

He said that if there was such a thing as "a good time and good place" to play music by the Wolfe Tones, it was not during Orange Order parades.

Formed in 1963 the Dublin band are named in honour of Theobald Wolfe Tone, one of the leaders of the 1798 United Irishmen rebellion.

In 2002 their recording of A Nation Once Again, written in the 1840s in support of the fight to end British rule in Ireland, topped a BBC World Service poll as the world's favourite.

Other releases by the group include Rifles of the IRA and Up the Rebels.
