The receipts from the Division 1 game between Gaoth Dobhair and Glenswilly at Magheragallon will be given to the fund.

The Reserve game between the clubs takes place at 1.30pm with the senior game getting underway at 3pm.

Donations can also be given on the day towards the fund.

Gaoth Dobhair Chamber of Commerce is encouraging local businesses and organisations to host fundraising initiatives for the Inishowen Flood Relief Fund.

In excess of 77 millimetres of rainfall was recorded in a seven-hour period at Malin Head last month and left a trail of destruction and devastation across the Inishowen peninsula.

150 houses and 50 businesses were said to be affected, people have been left homeless and Inishowen’s road network was brought to a standstill with a repair bill set to top €15million.
