O' Donnell Park (Páirc Uí Dhónaill in Irish) is a Gaelic Athletic Association stadium in Letterkenny, County Donegal, Ireland. It is situated on the Churchill road in the town and is home to St. Eunan's GAA Club. [1]
During the Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann 2006, the ground was used as a makeshift campsite for visitors to the town for the duration of the festival.
[edit] Matches
On March 25 2007, the ground hosted its first intercounty football match in three decades when Donegal beat Kerry by 1-15 to 0-13 in the Allianz Football League. There was a half hour delay after the Kerry team were unable to arrive on time due to fog at the airport. The match was broadcast live on TG4. [2] [3]
On April 13 2008, the ground hosted its second intercounty football match. Derry beat Donegal 0-15 to 0-10 in the NFL Division 1 semi-final. [4] [5] [6]
