You are all very welcome to this weekend’s Michael Murphy Sports Intermediate Championship quarter- finals. We have battled against the change in our lifestyles, our work , our social fabric, our families, and our sporting involvement. The GAA has seen many changes since its foundation and it has originated from the roots and soul of our Gaelic traditions, but no member could have foreseen the changes wrought by Covid-19. The year 2020 will certainly remain in our memories as the year of transformation, and we continue to implement the many prevention measures required to keep this virus at bay. I encourage you all to continue the great work that we have all had a part to play in, and I thank you for the many hours of voluntary assistance you have contributed in your Club areas in assisting the HSE and others, in bringing safe and healthy practice to vulnerable and lonely members of our communities. On behalf of the GAA in Donegal I thank the frontline workers who have given so much to helping our society, in facing the challenge of the coronavirus. There was a period this year where we all thought that we wouldn’t get playing our games, but many difficulties were overcome to reach these championship quarterfinals. We have not agreed with all the instructions and regulations, but we respect the decision makers for their fight against this unprecedented virus while still getting our games played. The County Competition Control Committee (CCC) have used new regulations, competition formats, and workmanlike decision making to reach this stage of championship, and we are all delighted to see the championship finalised in these difficulty times. I congratulate all Clubs who have continued to contribute to giving us the opportunity to see Gaelic games played in changed and difficult times. The streaming of our games is a new phase and challenge that we have been thrown into, and we have tech-knowledgeable members getting to grips with this new way of bringing our club games into our homes. I wish the eight competing teams, across the four games, and the match Officials, the best of luck. 1 Greg McGroary, Referee - Aodh Ruadh v Naomh Muire Íochtar na Rosann Representing Na Ceithre Maistri Club, referee Greg Mc Faoi 18 and two Secondary Schools County Medals at Groary first officiated at underage level in 2014 before Faoi 14 and Senior for the Abbey Vocational School, progressing to the Adult Referee’s Panel in late 2014.

The Knock-Out Stages and Streaming The Government’s decision to play all Gaelic Games behind closed doors until September 13th is dis-appointing for all club members and other supporters. Ironically, CLG Dhún na nGall scheduled knock-out games for September because the original government roadmap designated the start of that month for the return of up to 5,000 supporters at our games. As Iron Mike said “everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face”. The GAA is a widespread grassroots organisation and it is important in these difficult times that CLG Dhún na nGall do their utmost to look after the interests of the members and supporters who make clubs throughout the County the excellent community organisations they are.
