1986 Donegal GAA Junior B Qtr Final Lifford V Kilcar

Описание: Played at Glenfin this was an unusual meeting of Lifford and Kilcar.
Lifford won the match and a notable was that Paul Hegarty played midfield for Lifford and had an outstanding game. Paul later played for Derry City and was assistant manager at Derry City and managed Finn Harps and Institute. He was good enough at that time to have played for Donegal GAA Senior team. Mark McShane Kilcar who did later play for Donegal was his opponent. The late Dessie McDermott, Lifford was commentator while he nursed his baby son John !. Later John became Chairman of Lifford Club and helped develop the new field and is still involved..Young Danny "Boy" McLaughlin played and was an outstanding Gaelic footballer. He sadly died very young and he was a big loss to his family and sport R.I.P. (1999 at age 31). The other player we have lost from this team is Seamus "Kipper" Lynch R.I.P. (2015) (a native of Athlone) who was a very good player. Seamus left us at a young age too and gave many great displays for Lifford. At the very end a young Shay Given had the use of my microphone and his cousin Ambrose Finnerty gave Kildare gave a short commentary ! 😂 They appeared at half time as well. Lifford went on to lose in the final in the competition but the loss of Paul Hegarty on that day was the difference.
