Afterwards, a dance is being held in the Nesbitt Arms Hotel, Ardara.
‘A Game For Owen’ has been organised to raise money for Ardara man Owen McConnell..
Owen is a father of four living in New York who was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer.
Owen’s family and friends at home and abroad have rallied around him and his wife Joanne, who is also from Donegal.
The Owen McConnell Fund has so far raised over $65,000 for medical expenses, as hundreds of supporters back his #McConnellStrong fight.
