Dalata Hotel Group Ulster U20 Football Championship Group A, round two
Antrim v Donegal (Wednesday, Dunsilly, 7.30pm)
Antrim get their Ulster U20 campaign underway at Dunsilly tonight (Wednesday) and face what looks a very difficult opponent when they take on Donegall.
The Tir Connaill men have already one game under their belt in the group stages where they had 10 points to spare over Fermanagh and will start tonight’s game as odds on favourites.
Manager Colin Toal believes their opening match with Donegal this evening will show just where Antrim are at.
Antrim have announced their starting 15 for tonight’s U20 Ulster Championship meeting with Donegal at Dunsilly
Antrim: Sennan Nagle (St Enda’s) Sonny Doyle (St Brigid’s) Niall Hynds (Con Magees) Christopher Hale (St. Gall’s) Ronan Quinn (St. John’s) Paul Duffin (Moneyglass) Eamonn Ward (Glenravel) Manus McCrossan (St. Gall’s) Donnacha McGurk (St. Brigid’s) Corey Walsh (Rossa) Connhuir (Johnston Cargin) Rory McErlean (Casements) JJ Higgins (St. Brigid’s) Ciaran McAleese (Casements) Sean Boyd (St. Ergnat’s)
Donegal are coming into this one on the back of great club success, with Four Masters winning the Ulster Minor League and Abbey Vocational School got to the MacRory Cup final so no doubt they’ll be very strong.”
Antrim will also take on Tyrone, Down and Fermanagh in the group series over the next few weeks and will hope to improve on last year’s record, when they finished at the bottom of the table with four defeats from four outings.
Senan Nagle of St. Enda’s and Donncha McGurk have been appointed joint captains of the side for 2025 and we call on Antrim Gaels to come out in numbers to support the young Saffrons tonight at Dunsilly
