DONEGAL FOOTBALL CLUB NEW YORK
MCGRATH AGAIN LEADS DONEGAL NY
CLUB HONORS LATE JIMMY MCGONAGLE
Laurence McGrath’s re-election to lead the Donegal Football Club New York in 2013 marks the 11th year in total he has been President/Chairman of the Club. Backing him up again is the tested team of “The Chief,” Frank Molloy of the Ardara clan as Vice President; fellow Ardara man Pat McGill as Treasurer; Recording Secretary Mary Grant, Corresponding Secretary-P.R.O. Ira Goldman; and Chaplain Fr. Paul O’Donnell Duggan.
In a tribute to the late Jimmy McGonagle, the beloved twice past president who died suddenly in November, the annual Club Person of the Year Award has been renamed as the Jimmy McGonagle Award.
Donegal NY will field a Senior team in 2013 having won the NY GAA Intermediate crown in their second year playing in that Division. Ardara native and long-time Donegal NY star player Pat McGill follows on that triumph helm as Manager for 2013, again backed up by Clare man Denis Shannon and Trainer James McFadden of St. Michael’s.
McGrath, also NY GAA Vice Chairman, and long-time club officer Tommy Lilly are the NY GAA delegates, with Molloy and Goldman as alternates.
Donegal NY will honor Martin McHugh, a member of Donegal’s 1992 All-Ireland champion team and father of 2012 champion team member Martin McHugh with the Damien Meehan Award at their 65th Annual Banquet 27 May. McHugh will bring with him from Ireland the Sam Maguire Cup won by Donegal last year.
