DONEGAL ENDED UP coming third in the Buncrana Cup on Saturday.
Luke Gavigan’s county Under-16 panel were defeated by Monaghan by a point in the semi-final at Muff before defeating Armagh when they took on the Orchard County in the third and fourth placed play-off in Buncrana.

“The structures here in Donegal doesn’t help. There’s a big lack of football. The ball skills weren’t good enough. We’re not a big side and we were hoping our running game would be better. We could barely get training because there were minor fixtures on.”
[adrotate group=”53″]“Listen we’re disappointed but it’s a starting point. They are better players and hopefully some of them can make a mark into the minor squads.
“This is the first stab at some of these kids had at county set-ups and there’s no All-Irelands won at Under-16.”
