Listen: Aidan McAteer says Gaeil Fhánada eyes now on All-Ireland crown

Gaeil Fhánada manager Aidan McAteer says fresh legs were vital as they overcame hosts Downings to win the Donegal Junior Gaeltacht crown – and their eyes are now on the big prize. 

Eoghan Carr’s seven points helped secure a 0-13 to 0-7 win and Gaeil Fhánada will now aim to win the All-Ireland crown next month, five years after they last won that title.

“We wanted to win the county Gaeltacht and the All-Ireland Gaeltacht – and that’s the first box ticked,” McAteer said.

“This will be good for our momentum. We rallied at half-time and I was happy with the second half.

“The legs took us over the line. We had five minors on the field at the end of the game. It was tough with two matches in two days. We tried to save some of them and we knew we had the young fellas to come on.”
