Club-by-club guide to the Junior A Football Championship

Downings won the Donegal Junior A title last season and have since made it to Division 1 of the All-County Football League, with the competition starting again this weekend

Robert Emmets
Manager: Mick Dalton and Gary McNamee
Last year championship: Failed to make knock-outs
This year AFCL: Eleventh in Division 4
First two opponents: Home to St Eunan’s B; away to Urris
Prospects: Difficult season in Division 3 with only one win but that came only three weeks ago against Naomh Ultan, with three first half goals providing the foundation for a 3-9 to 1-12 victory over Naomh Ultan. Although the league season taught the Castlefin side manys a lesson, with a very young panel they will take what they can from the experience ahead of te JFC.
Star man: Dylan McNamee
