Gaoth Dobhair and Naomh Conaill are undeniably two of the biggest hitters when it comes to club football in Donegal.
The Magheragallon side are aiming to re-join St Eunan’s at the top of the Donegal Senior Football Championship Roll-Of-Honour this coming Sunday by winning their sixteenth title in the competition’s illustrious history.
Up until 2021, Gaoth Dobhair had stood on their own as being the most successful club in the county only for the Letterkenny side to overtake them with last year’s triumph.
Naomh Conaill, meanwhile, have built up their status as one of Donegal’s elite in the past two decades.
Having only won their first ever senior championship in 2005, the Glenties/Fintown men have now amassed seven titles and are bidding for an eighth within twenty years of winning their first.
The two clubs meet at O’Donnell Park on Sunday afternoon at 3:30 and, no matter who comes out on top, it will be another championship win for one of the A-Listers of Donegal club football.
Highland’s Pauric Hilferty has been speaking to both managers in the lead up to Sunday’s clash.
