Donegal Senior Football Championship

The Donegal Senior Football Championship (abbreviated as Donegal SFC) is an annual club football competition organised by Donegal GAA and contested by the highest-level Gaelic football clubs, deciding the best team in County Donegal. Since 2016, it has been known as Michael Murphy Sports and Leisure Donegal SFC after its headline sponsor.

Initially a straight knock-out competition, the Donegal SFC added a round-robin group stage in 2013. The winning club qualify to represent their county in the Ulster Senior Club Football Championship, the winners of which go on to compete in the All-Ireland Senior Club Football Championship. The final is played at MacCumhaill Park in Ballybofey.

The winning club receive the Dr Maguire Cup. The competition has been won by 17 clubs, 14 of which have won it more than once. Gaoth Dobhair are the most successful club, with 15 titles. The most recent team to win the competition for the first time is Glenswilly (2011, followed by 2013 and 2016). Naomh Conaill are the reigning champions, having beaten Gaoth Dobhair in the 2019 final (which required two replays).

History

The 1997 Donegal SFC descended into controversy when Naomh Adhamhnáin, having beaten Aodh Ruadh in the final by a scoreline of 1–11 to 2–7, had the title stripped from them — after St Eunan's fielded Leslie McGettigan, deemed to have been an illegal player.[1] The affair made the national press and its effects continued for many months, into the following year.[2]

In 2002, Na Cealla Beaga were thrown out of the Donegal SFC at the semi-final stage — after also being accused of fielding an illegal player, with New York again at the centre of the dispute. The player — Peter McGinley — as well as the club's chairman and secretary were banned for one year. Assistant secretary Bernard Conaghan (reported the Irish Independent) said: "We were careful not to play this player until his papers came through from New York. We sat him out for a league game and our first Championship match, we did everything we thought possible to make sure he was legal and now this has happened, it's a terrible blow".[3] The final of that competition was not played until 2003 due to a disagreement between Ard an Rátha and Naomh Adhamhnáin over Eddie Brennan.[4]

In 2008, Termon — described in national newspaper the Sunday Independent as "one of the smallest if not the smallest" in the county — reached an SFC final for the first time in their history.[5]

Jim McGuinness assisted Naomh Conaill to success in the 2000s before becoming an All-Ireland winning manager with Donegal.[6] Naomh Conaill, as county champions, made it all the way to the final of the 2010 Ulster Senior Club Football Championship by defeating Cavan champions Kingscourt in the preliminary round, Monaghan champions Clontibret O'Neills in the first round proper, and Tyrone champions Coalisland in the semi-final.[7]

Competition format

The old format, which involved a two-legged first round, was scrapped ahead of the 2013 Donegal SFC in favour of an opening round containing four groups of four teams played out as a league and one team relegated.[8] Two of the four teams in each group advance to the (one-legged) quarter-finals after each have played the others once. The four winning quarter-finalists advance to the (one-legged) semi-finals and the winners advanced to the (one-legged) final.

Teams finishing bottom of their group play two relegation semi-finals. The losing relegation semi-final teams met in the relegation final. The losing team is relegated to the Donegal Intermediate Football Championship (Donegal IFC) to be replaced by the IFC-winning team.

The format was retained for 2014.[9]

A "League Stage" was adopted for the 2020 competition due to the COVID-19 pandemic bringing play to a halt earlier, and restricting play later, in the year.

Qualification for subsequent competitions

Ulster Senior Club Football Championship

The Donegal SFC winners qualify for the Ulster Senior Club Football Championship. It is the only team from County Donegal to qualify for this competition. The Donegal SFC winners may enter the Ulster Senior Club Football Championship at either the preliminary round or the quarter-final stage. Teams to have qualified for the final of that competition include Na Cealla Beaga, Naomh Conaill, Glenswilly and Gaoth Dobhair.[10][11][12]

All-Ireland Senior Club Football Championship

The Donegal SFC winners — by winning the Ulster Senior Club Football Championship — may qualify for the All-Ireland Senior Club Football Championship, at which they would enter at the semi-final stage. The last team from County Donegal to do this was Gaoth Dobhair in 2018; they were knocked out by reigning (and eventual) All-Ireland champions Corofin.

Consecutive winners

Two clubs have completed a Donegal SFC four-in-a-row: these were Gaoth Dobhair (1944, 1945, 1946, 1947) and Naomh Iósaef/St Joseph's (1973, 1974, 1975, 1976).

Three clubs have completed a Donegal SFC three-in-a-row: these were Gaoth Dobhair (1953, 1954, 1955), Seán MacCumhaills (1962, 1963, 1964) and St Eunan's (2007, 2008, 2009).

Na Cealla Beaga have won consecutive Donegal SFCs on two occasions (1991, 1992 and 1995, 1996).

A merger between Aodh Ruadh and the less successful Réalt na Mara resulted in the formation of the hugely successful Naomh Iósaef/St Joseph's, who dominated Donegal club football in the 1960s and 1970s winning consecutive Donegal SFCs (1970, 1971) and a 'Four in a Row' between 1973 and 1976. Aodh Ruadh have won consecutive Donegal SFCs on their own on three occasions (1942 & 1943; 1986 & 1987; and 1997 & 1998).

Naomh Conaill, meanwhile, have established the unusual trend of winning the competition in every 21st-century year ending in "5" or "0", despite never having won it before that time.

Some matches are also covered by Ocean FM (if they involve teams from its area) alongside its coverage of sport in the neighbouring counties of Sligo and Leitrim.[39]

Newspapers such as the Donegal Democrat, Donegal News and Donegal People's Press provide extensive coverage of the competition.

With interest in the sport at an all-time high following the county's showing in the 2012 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final, the final of the 2012 Donegal SFC was broadcast live on TG4.[41]

Coverage of the final may be found in newspapers such as The Irish Times, Irish Examiner and Irish Independent the following day.

Gradam Shéamuis Mhic Géidigh

A player of the year award has been given since 2016. Its title commemorates the RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta broadcaster Séamus Mac Géidigh.

'We had gone into the [1991] final as the hot favourites but Red Hugh's had a very good team at the time and they were very unlucky not to win a championship in those years', said Jimmy White, who had taken over from John Joe O'Shea at the beginning of 1991. Kerryman John Joe O'Shea, a teacher at Killybegs Vocational School, had masterminded the 1988 success after a number of years of great success at underage level. 'I [White] was just thinking the other day how things have changed since 1991, when you look at the large numbers in managements and backroom teams nowadays. 'In '91, I was player manager. I had no selectors and Michael Gallagher trained the team'.
