Buncrana GAA Notes
Jim McGuinness
Well, we can’t say it was unexpected but it still comes as bit of a shock. The announcement by Jim McGuinness that he is resigning as County manager will leave a huge void to be filled by whoever succeeds him.
Everyone at the club wishes Jim well with his future plans and thanks him sincerely for all he has done for the game in the county over the past few years. We will always remember the good times he gave us and for making Donegal a power in Gaelic football in the country.
Senior Football
Well done to Buncrana who beat Carndonagh 1-6 to 0-8 in the Intermediate Championship in the Scarvey on Saturday. This puts us in second place in the table equal on points with table-toppers Naomh Columba.
Senior Ladies
Buncrana Ladies had a great win on Sunday away to Dungloe, winning 7-7 to 1-3, which sets up a top of the table league decider next Sunday in the Scarvey against Cloghaneely. If the Ladies win this then they’ll be promoted to the Intermediates next season. All support welcome for what could be an historic day for this team who’re only playing a few years now.
