New manager Tony O’Carroll is aiming to make Bonagee United competitive as the Ulster Senior League swings into action this weekend.
Bonagee open their term with a baptism of fire, an away derby against Letterkenny Rovers at Leckview Park on Sunday in the Donegal News Ulster Senior League Cup.
O’Carroll succeeds Peter Moran in the Dry Arch Park hotseat.
Michael Funston has rejoined his home club and is joined by the likes of Brian McClean, Glenn Gallagher, Matty Harkin, Caolan McLaughlin, Scott Rice and Oisin McMenamin while Gareth Breslin, Taylor Russell, Aidan McCauley and Aidan McLaughlin are no longer available.
“My aim for the season is to have a competitive, eager side,” O’Carroll, who managed Bonagee’s Under-18s last season.
“We’ll take that into the second game and build on that. It’s game-by-game, but I hope to be competitive and bring the youths on board.
“It’s a big step up and I’m aware of that, but we’re optimistic and we’re looking forward to it.
“Bonagee have always been hard working, they like to get the ball on the deck and play. We’ll do what it takes to achieve in each individual game.
“At this stage, being successful is being competitive in the first game of the season.”
