Team News Commiserations to Joe Hensey and the Donegal Seniors on their slender loss to Bundoran in the county final. For the third year running, the teams have come up short in the decider. On Saturday, Diarmuid Logue & Eunan McGlynn took a half point in match one, Cathal Roarty & Ciaran Kelly were winners along with Joe Hensey & Paddy Merritt, but despite a strong 2.5-point haul on the road, the dye was cast at home. That, says the team captain, is where the damage has consistently been done in recent finals and is the area that will need addressing to get the deal over the line. There appears little doubt that Captain Hensey won't be giving up just yet after another strong push this year.
