Buncrana hurlers
seek Ulster Championship glory
25.10.24
BUNCRANA’s Senior Hurlers
are gearing up to make history this Saturday, 2nd of
November, at O’Donnell Park in Letterkenny as they face Ballela from
County Down in the Ulster GAA Hurling Junior Club
Championship quarter final at 12:30 pm.
This marks the first time in Buncrana’s 23-year hurling
history that a senior team will compete in the Ulster
Championship. Though this level is new for Buncrana’s
Senior Hurlers, many of these players are no strangers
to the big stage. They've been collecting county titles
since their U12 days, including every County
Championship up to U21, and have celebrated multiple
Ulster achievements: two Ulster Club Junior League
titles and three Ulster Club Minor B Championships,
along with appearances in the A division. Some of the
squad members even hold All-Ireland medals earned with
Donegal and their colleges. |

The team clinched their
place in this championship by winning the County
Intermediate Championship against Carn, marking
Buncrana’s first senior championship title. They’ve been
training relentlessly ever since, braving all
conditions, in their quest to add another piece of
silverware to their 2024 season.
Despite a few injuries, they’re determined to put in
their best performance and make their families, club,
and county proud. Manager Tommy O’Neill remains focused,
taking each game as it comes and concentrating fully on
Saturday’s challenge. Supporters are encouraged to come
out in force to cheer on the team and show their
Buncrana pride.
Additionally, Buncrana extended their best wishes to
Burt as they embark on their campaign in the Ulster GAA
Intermediate Club Championship on Sunday, November 3rd,
in Newry. |
