St Eunan’s player takes top Ulster award

ST EUNAN’S player Niall O’Donnell has been named as the Player of the Tournament at the Ulster Minor Football Tournament.

The prestigious tournament was hosted by the St Paul’s club in Belfast.

St Paul’s ran a public poll for supporters to choose their top player – and O’Donnell came up trumps, with 39 per cent of the vote.

Although beaten heavily, 4-12 to 1-6, in the New Years Day final by Crossmaglen Rangers, O’Donnell’s talents were clearly visible.

He scored three points in the final, but had already left quite the calling card.

The St Eunan’s College student scored eight points in the 0-16 to 2-7 win over Slaughtneil in the quarter-final and blasted 2-4 past Enniskillen Gaels in a semi-final won by St Eunan’s 4-11 to 0-8.
