Kilcar made favourites as they face Glenswilly in Senior Championship Final

Kilcar are now outright favourites to win their first county senior title in 23 years after blowing away Naomh Conaill in Ballybofey this evening.

Martin McHugh’s rapid squad were simply too much for the current champions and eventually won on a scoreline of 5-10 to 1-11.

They now face Glenswilly who just did enough to get over the line in a pretty ordinary semi-final against Malin at O’Donnell Park this afternoon.

Kilcar went in at the break 3-4 to 1-6 ahead but an even more impressive second saw Kilcar power away from Martin Doherty’s side to book their place in the final.

That game takes place on October 16th at MacCumhaill Park and it will be Kilcar who will be many people’s favourites to lift the Dr Maguire.

As well as the McHughs, Michael Hegarty rolled back the years once more for Kilcar and it was very much a fifteen man performance which saw Kilcar come out victors.

Glenswilly for their part will have to come up with a gamelan that will have to stop the speed of the Kilcar inside forwards.

Kilcar will in turn have to stop Michael Murphy and Neil Gallagher.

On tonight’s display at MacCumhaill Park, however, the smart money will have to be on Kilcar.
