Win or lose on Saturday it will be an historic evening under lights in Austin Stack Park as one of the greatest footballers of Club and County will be making a Club County Championship record that has stood for almost 30 years. Kieran Donaghy will be making his 60th Senior Football Co. Championship appearance, taking over from the great Ger O’Keeffe whose record of 59 appearances, a record that has lasted since the 5th July 1992.
‘Star’ first lined out with the Club in Senior Co. Championship football in that famous (some might say – infamous) game in Gallarus on that Sunday evening – the 11th August 2002. He now becomes the first player in the 104 year history of the Club to reach the 60 mark. As well as Ger O’Keeffe there are only three other players, so-far, who have made fifty or more appearances – Mikey Collins with 53, Ger Power with 52 and William Kirby on 50.
