You are all very welcome to this weekend’s Michael Murphy Sports round of Championship knockout games - two Junior quarter-finals, two Intermediate semifinals and two Senior semifinals. 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 with restrictions on capacity. Donegal are streaming all the knock-out games, some free to air but most on a PPV basis. We are using professional camera and graphics crews to bring our spectators the best possible qua;ity but this is a fickle industry and one in its infancy. There will be ineviatable hiccups but at all times we will be striving for success and to bring our club games into our homes. I wish the twelve competing teams, across the six games, and the match Officials, the best of luck. 1 Siobhan Coyle, Referee - Bun an Phobail v Iorras Siobhan, a primary school in both 2017 and 2019. teacher in Scoil Mhuire Siobhan took charge of Gleneely in Inishowen hails the All Ireland Junior Club from the Gaeil Fhánadá club.
