GAA Predictions for 2021

Gary McDaid (Former Glenswilly and Donegal Under 20 manager)
Hopes for 2021: Each county has a full-time administrator and they have served the association well, but I think it’s time to cancel those contracts and come up with a Marketing Executive or a Business Executive role. I feel we can get more bang for our buck if we could bring in specialised people who could help clubs and counties get access to better coaching, facilities, and funding. The ultimate dream is for every club in Donegal to have a GDO, and we should at least start the process of looking into that. I think we should source a full-time sponsor for our development squads like Armagh have, and maybe introduce a monthly newsletter so people know exactly who is involved, and what counties they are playing, and that will bring more transparency. I also feel our underage managers need to be given more than just one year terms so that they can plan accordingly and try to impose a prope

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.
