Donegal Senior Football Championship
The Donegal Senior Football Club Championship or the RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta Donegal SFC is an annual GAA club competition between Donegal clubs operating at the highest level. The winners qualify to represent their county in the Ulster Senior Club Football Championship and in turn, go on to the All-Ireland Senior Club Football Championship.
In recent years the final has been played at MacCumhail Park in Ballybofey. The most recent championship was won by St. Eunan's, who defeated Naomh Conaill in the 2012 final. The two teams have formed "one of the most modern of Donegal rivalries", having regularly been the two best sides in the county in recent times, i.e. since the turn of the century.

Famous quotes containing the words senior and/or football:
“Adolescents have the right to be themselves. The fact that you were the belle of the ball, the captain of the lacrosse team, the president of your senior class, Phi Beta Kappa, or a political activist doesn’t mean that your teenager will be or should be the same....Likewise, the fact that you were a wallflower, uncoordinated, and a C student shouldn’t mean that you push your child to be everything you were not.”
—Laurence Steinberg (20th century)
“People stress the violence. That’s the smallest part of it. Football is brutal only from a distance. In the middle of it there’s a calm, a tranquility. The players accept pain. There’s a sense of order even at the end of a running play with bodies stewn everywhere. When the systems interlock, there’s a satisfaction to the game that can’t be duplicated. There’s a harmony.”
—Don Delillo (b. 1926)
