A 40-year reunion of the 1982 Donegal’s under 21 side is taking place in the Abbey Hotel Donegal Town on Friday 7th October. Forty years ago this September this squad brought the first senior county All-Ireland title to Donegal and planted the seeds for the long-awaited 1992 capture of the Sam Maguire. Speaking last month when the event was first mooted, the captain on that historic occasion, Brian Touhy, said:
“he welcomed the idea saying it was difficult to realise that it is 40 years ago. There has been great excitement with the news that this is going to happen, and he outlined that he had been in contact with the players and management and they are all keen to attend, and meet up once again. There was some great footballers and no shortage of characters in the group and many of them went on to take part in the first visit of Sam Maguire to Donegal 10 years later, in 1992”.
