CAPTURED ON FILM! WHY SPORT IS IN DONEGAL’S DNA

It’s not often that cricket, women’s golf or women’s running grab the headlines in Donegal.

But several Donegal sporting stars basked in a little bit of deserved limelight today.

And athletes from Donegal do this every day of the week without many even getting a mention.

Ann-Marie McGlynn, the ever-improving Lifford AC athlete, won the Strabane 10k.

Meanwhile St. Johnston proved they certainly weren’t going to be stumped when they moved to the top of the Championship Section of the North West Cricket League when they recorded a 54 run victory away to Sion Mills.

Across the border in Tyrone Kathleen Mc Gowan and Bridie Faulkner from Ballybofey & Stranorlar Golf Club contested the Lady’s Captain Day competition at Strabane Golf Club in the company of Redcastle Golf Club’s Mary Mc Arthur

And who said sport isn’t part of our DNA in Donegal.

Many thanks to photographer Gary Foy for capturing all three moments!
