NA REITEOIRI SENIOR FINAL:
LIAM BROWN (Four Masters) Four Masters' Liam Brown takes charge of his first ever senior final today. The Despatch Clerk with Magee and Co. in Donegal Town has been refereeing for nine years and in that time has taken charge of the U-21 final in 1988, the Junior final of 1990 and the Intermediate final of 1991. He is in his second year on the Intercounty referees panel and refereed Ulster Minor League games as well as making his N.F.L. debut in the game between All-Ireland champions Derry and Sligo earlier this year. He had one particularly busy Sunday earlier this year when he took charge of the Ulster Minor Championship game between Fermanagh and Armagh and later that evening he refereed the Ulster U-21 Championship final between Derry and Down. He also refereed the Dr. McKenna Cup game between Fermanagh and Cavan this year. Married to Mary, they have one son, Marc. Liam is also a playing member with Donegal Town Rugby Club.
MINOR FINAL: AUSTIN WALLACE (Burt) Austin is 44 and has been refereeing for almost 15 years at senior level. He was the man in the middle at this year's Fermanagh Senior Hurling final and also refereed the Co. Junior football final between Fanad Gaels and Kilcar. He has also refereed Senior Championship semi-finals; Reserve final, U 13, U-21 in football and also every age group in the Hurling Championship except the Senior final, due to the fact that his own club are almost always involved. He is one of the few referees in the county to hold a grade two badge for hurling, and he also refereed this year's Senior Camogie final between Carndonagh and Newtowncunningham Austin is married with six children and wife, Eileen, is to be seen at almost every game with him and she is one of his sternest critics. The family of two boys and four girl are all involved in some way with the Burt Club, all holding Championship medals and three of them, Andrew, Hugo and John have represented the county. Austin's favourite hurler is his son, Andrew, while his favourite footballer is the former Dublin great, Barney Rock.
It's Been A Hard Road To The Final
By CHARLIE COLLINS
It seems to have been a long time since we attended the draw for the 1993 County Championships in Heeney's of Ballybofey. Despite that, I remember well the reaction to the pairings in the Senior Championship. Two of them stood out as probable matches of the first round, Killybegs against Red Hugh's and Kilcar versus St. Eunan's.
On that evening, and particularly over the next few days. I encountered varied opinions about the draw. However, it surprised me to hear many suggest that both Killybegs and Kilcar could be first- round victims. The thinking seemed to be that, over a possible three matches both Red Hugh's and an improving St. Eunan's could prove good enough to down the South-West neighbours. The record books, of course, show that those opinions almost became a reality, a late goal giving Killybegs victory in the play-off against Red Hugh's and Kilcar needing a fourth game to squeeze past St. Eunan's, so perhaps an element of luck about their first round success but since that both sides have left little doubt that they deserve to contest today's final. Killybegs overcame tough fixtures against Ardara and Naomh Columba while Kilcar proved too good for both Naomh Conaill and Glenfin. The reigning champions have improved since the first round and three tough games with Red Hugh's I believe have been a major boost to their chances of winning, and their in-depth strength has been again apparent in 1993. Indeed some of their lesser known have produced the goods throughout the campaign. Even without Declan Boyle and Cunningham Killybegs will be a force reckoned with today. Kilcar, likewise, due to injury suspensions, have reached this stage having tough games while not always at full strength but well served by squad members. A example would be my old!! friend Michael Carr old only in that I have known Michael since I played for the minors back in 1972. Since introduced for the play-off clash with St. Eunans, Michael has shown what Kilcar football about and it is the likes of him as well obvious modern day stars who make dangerous opponents in championship finals.
This will be Highland Radio's fourth to broadcast a Donegal County Senior Killybegs have featured in the last two an won both but I believe have yet to show true potential on a final day. Kilcar may underdogs today, but while favour Killybegs victory I am not convinced it as easy as some are suggesting. In previous occasions it has taken late rally to ensure victory, anything less than a top performance over the full hour today will be enough to add another title to Kilcars already impressive list. Good luck to both to have got this far it has been an achievement, and if you don't believe the case just think about Red Hugh's and Eunan's.

"The team to beat"
By: Charlie McGinley, Derry People/Donegal News
A few years ago Killybegs and Kilcar met in the final of the Donegal senior football championship. Kilcar "the Team of the Eighties" were red hot favourites by many people (not me) to win their third title of the decade (they had won titles in 1980 and 1985 against Ardara and Four Masters). A young Killybegs side (11 of the panel were under 21) were regarded by many onlookers as being the "also rans" and lacked the required experience to cause an upset. Killybegs (as predicted by this reporter) won the title, a Jimmy White goal sealing victory and a first championship for the Killybegs men since 1952. Barry Cunningham captained the side that day. He had taken over the captaincy role after the tragic death in a league match of Manus Byrne earlier that season. Since then Killybegs have been the "team to beat". They have dominated the championship with their confidence and lovely brand of possession football.
Today they are seeking their fourth title at senior level but as the tables have turned since six years ago Killybegs go into the final as favourites. Few would wager against Jimmy White's side recording a treble of championships. The current Killybegs panel is based largely on the hugely successful under-age team that came through the ranks (winning county championships with ease) in the 80s. Barry Cunningham, John Cunningham, Barry McGowan, and Manus Boyle won all- Ireland medals last year with Donegal and form the backbone of this Killybegs machine. Barry McGowan is arguably the best player in the county at the moment and his role today will be crucial to Killybegs.
Kilcar with the McHugh brothers, Martin and James, will be hungry for success this year after a barren spell by their standards. Along with the McShanes, Mark and Roger, Christy Gillespie and the ever improving Padraig Howley (a former Galway minor and under 21 player) Kilcar certainly have the ability to reverse the roles of six years ago.
But their task will be difficult against a classy Killybegs side who are also bidding for a third league title in a row this season. As one Kilcar player told me earlier this week "we are not going to Ballybofey to make up the numbers". "Killybegs will be favourites and they play a lovely brand of football but if we can close them down it could make for a very interesting final", he said. Killybegs captain, Manus Boyle, is approaching today's final with an air of caution. "Last year almost every paper in the country tipped Dublin to beat Donegal and look what happened. We know we will be favourites for today's final but it is a two horse race and in a final anything can happen.
We will miss Barry Cunningham and Declan Boyle for the final but having said that the two lads who will be coming in will do a job for Killybegs and hopefully bring the title back to the town for the third year in a row", he said.
Boyle felt the reason Killybegs were so successful over the last number of years is because they have been able to keep the same panel of players. "Up to twelve of this team have been together since we were 10 years old and we won all of the under-age titles. It helps us a lot and we know what we have to do in every game. People say that we are very confident but the reality is that we do not take any team for granted. If Kilcar had been able to keep players like Maurice Carr and Michael Carr they could have had the success that we enjoyed the last number of years," Boyle said. "We want to establish Killybegs as one of the major GAA centres in the county and if it takes more championships to do that we will do it," Boyle added.

Cill Chartaigh in their 10th senior final
This is Kilcar's tenth appearance in the county senior championship final. Five of those were in the eighties and because of their success they were named the "Team of the Eighties" for consistency in championship, league, shield and all Ireland Gaeltacht competitions.
They were champions in 1925, 1980, 1985 and 1989.
BRIEF HISTORY 1925:
Kilcar won when Dunfanaghy failed to field.
1959. Cill Charthaigh 1-6, MacCumhaills 2-7.
1963: Cill Charthaigh 0-4, MacCumhaills 1-6.
1980: Cill Charthaigh 1-13, Ardara 0-8.
1982: Cill Charthaigh 0-6, Four Masters 1-4.
1985: Cill Charthaigh 0-9, Four Masters 0-7.
1987: Cill Charthaigh 1-7, Aodh Ruadh 2-10.
1988: Cill Charthaigh 2-8, Killybegs 2-10.
1989: Cill Charthaigh 1-9, Aodh Ruadh 0-9. T
he Kilcar team were written off by many sports writers at many stages of the past 13 years but they always manage to make a comeback while on the other hand the Killybegs team are on a roll achieving great success in the past three or four years and especially knocking the favourites Kilcar off their pedestal in 1988 with some late injury time scores.
But the boot is on the other foot this time with Killybegs as favourites due to their success recently and having achieved better results in this year's run up to the final. Reaching so many finals in such a short period of time has been a magnificent achievement for a Kilcar parish which is very small and can still field three adult teams in adult competitions.
They have already won the junior championship this year and reached the semi-final of the reserve championship. In the senior championship they have more or less made hard work of getting past St. Eunan's in the first round, taking four games to do so. Then a very spirited Glenties team were difficult to break down in Fintra and in the semi-final against Glenfin things were difficult enough for long periods but they ran out easy winners in the end. Great credit is due to this team many other teams in the county would love to be in the same position many players from other clubs will envy this Kilcar team and they will also hope that Kilcar do well on the day. Hopefully Kilcar have kept the good wine until last and that they can raise their game for the total hour and leave us all with a memorable 1993 county senior final.
Hunger
By Kieran Cunningham, 98fm, Dublin
It's a hard thing to define. That desire to keep on winning, to be the best. The great Kerry team had tons of the stuff. Men with eight all Ireland medals. Eight! How did they charge themselves year after year? Hunger! Donegal had it in 1992, Derry had it this year. The day after the Ulster final, while most were nursing hangovers, Henry Downey was out training on his own. They tell me they trained so hard that players would get physically sick and then carry on. All down to hunger.
Killybegs and Kilcar definitely have it. The fishermen are going for their third title In a row and look set to be the team to beat for some time to come. They have many fine players but a lot of credit must go to player manager, Jimmy White who created the team and drives them on year after year. Hopefully, White's talents will be availed of at county level at some stage in the future. If Killybegs are the team of the 90's then Kilcar were the team of the 80's.
Players like Michael Carr and Martin McHugh have been there before and know what's required. Thankfully, football isn't an exact science so no-one can really predict the outcome of today's match with any great confidence. Killybegs should win, but maybe Kilcar want this title more. Strange things can happen on county final day. Ordinary players become good and good players become great. It can work the other way as well. Whatever happens, I won't be there to witness it as the Dublin county final is on today as well, and work will keep me in the capital.
But I'll be listening to Sean Og on RTE tonight to find out who was the hungriest team in Donegal in 1993.
McHugh has potential to upset the odds
By CIARAN O'DONNELL, Derry Journal
Martin McHugh might be the smallest player on view in this afternoon's senior football final, yet Killybegs will need no reminding that if the gifted attacker hits the right note he is capable of destroying even the most watertight rearguard.
For those who need reminding, his weaving runs frustrated some of the country's best defenders during Donegal's memorable march to capturing Sam a year ago. Things could have been different this year for the Wee Man and the rest of the Donegal players had they came up trumps in that quite forgettable lottery against Derry in Clones. Despite losing the Ulster and All-Ireland titles, Martin isn't the type to dwell on what might have beens. "Derry are a great team, and they thoroughly deserved their All-Ireland victory. I am delighted for all concerned in the Derry camp and it's great that two neighbouring counties have come through to win All-Ireland titles in successive years he maintains. While today's senior decider is a far cry from last year's epic encounters against Mayo and Dublin at Croke Park, as Donegal's deputising shipper points out, the clubs are where all county players start and finish their careers.
While it's certainly not the same, it does keep some of us in shape. It's nice to be involved in the championship, and to defeat Killybegs would be some consolation". Footballer of the G.A.A. in 1992, McHugh is well aware that dethroning the senior club Killybegs is going to be no easy feat. "We haven't played all that well in the championship so far. If we don't improve on our performances we won't stand a chance. It's as simple as that". County championship finals are nothing new to McHugh, who was at the helm for a time when Kilcar were known as "the team of the eighties". "I have played six, winning three and losing three", he explains. The company representative was manager of Kilcar in 1987, 1988 and 1989. Although successful four years ago against Aodh Ruadh, McHugh's men fell to Killybegs in the 1988 decider. "It's the only time we have met them in a championship final, and strangely enough we haven't met them at any stage of the competition since". McHugh has played in numerous positions for Kilcar in his outfit's current quest for championship glory. While Killybegs carry the heavy weight of favourites tag. McHugh has the potential to make a mockery of that.
