World Cup ace James Boyle is this week’s Donegal Daily/Donegal Sport Hub Sports Person of the Week, in association with O’Reilly’s.

The Dungloe man polled 487 votes – 30 per cent of the 1,642 votes cast this week.

He narrowly edges out Letterkenny AC’s Nakita Burke and Red Hughs’ Calvin Bradley.

Boyle netted a hat-trick for the Irish Amputee Football Team at the World Cp in Mexico at the weekend. Boyle was in magnificent form for Ireland and also scored twice against Columba, twice against Uruguay and once against Mexico.

Each weekly award winner will receive a kitbag, a jersey and a half-zip, supplied by O’Reilly’s.

O’Reilly’s Sportswear was founded in 2017 by well-known Twin Towns sporting brothers Steven and Martin O’Reilly.
