New Donegal Association formed

Published:

Back in the 1990s, the Donegal Association in Mullingar was a vibrant one, with people such as Cathal Dunlevy, Eamonn McGowan and Fionn Gallagher on board.

Donegal captain Anthony Molloy and other players brought the Sam Maguire Cup down after the ‘92 All-Ireland win, and so it is appropriate that, in a year when Jim McGuinness is raising expectations again, a new Association is being formed in Mullingar. To that end, over 100 people are expected to turn up in The Greville Arms on Friday night, March 7, for an informal get together, with food and music on the menu.

If you have Donegal DNA, live in Westmeath, and are unaware of the association, contact Mark Breslin on the What’s App Group on 086 373 5214 or join the Facebook page. Alternatively, turn up on the night - you’ll be more than welcome and it promises to be the start of a great group.
