Kilruane MacDonaghs News
Senior
MacDonaghs will play Toomevara in the third round of the North championship. No date has been finalised for this game but it will probably take place on the weekend of 28th June. This will be an absolutely massive test for the team. All support will have to be mobilised for this game and the memory of the galling one-point loss to Toomevara in 2013 should galvanise the players into a herucelean effort. After a subdued performance against Ballina the players are chomping at the bit to meet this challenge.
