1. Naomh Conaill (1)
With the Donegal SFC final yet to be played, Naomh Conaill are still the reigning holders of the Dr Maguire Cup, and remain the team to beat in the county. They made light work of their opponents on the way through to the County semi-final but were pushed all the way by St Eunan’s and needed a superb Ciaran Thompson winner to see of the Letterkenny men. Some of their more experienced players are pushing on in age now, but they have great depth, and Robbie McDonnell and Daniel Gildea, who played for the county minors against Tyrone, should add to that in 2021.
