A Donegal Demons Under-17 select team took the field against Stranorlar Sunday last.

Both Teams enjoyed the good weather and this showed in the quality rugby on display. Eoghan McNeill, an Ulster Under-18 winger, operating and reveling in his Full-Back role blitzed the Stranorlar defense, twice scoring tries of high class, running from deep to score in the corner and later pressurizing Out-half Joe McGinley to steal and touchdown under the posts. Donegal's first try came through prop forward Shaun McGill, who's running put some backs to shame. He powered through the despairing cover after a pass from Cillian Byrne (who wore both color shirts) and ran under the posts.

Missing Ireland second-row Donal Byrne, and No.8 Ivan Corrigan, the returning Conal O'Callaghan gave a fine display in the back row alongside Ciaran Tully. Both made some dazzling runs and belting tackles. Good runs from Pete-so Cannon and Declan Gallagher could have warranted tries but Stranorlar showed some of the little training they had was paying off.

Along with Cillian, another Demon turned out for Stranorlar, Jim Scully played for his native town and held up well against the team he'll be turning out for next Saturday!

Some of the Letterkenny contingent in the Stranorlar line up guided the team with their No.8 showing how to hit hard, Out-half Joe McGinley however controlled nearly all their good play.
