St Joseph's GFC (Donegal)
St Joseph's Gaelic Football Club was a Gaelic football club in County Donegal, Ireland. History The club was formed in 1963 from the merger of Aodh Ruadh, based in Ballyshannon, and Réalt na Mara, based in Bundoran. Brian McEniff explained in 2013 that St Joseph's was formed when the clubs in the two towns "were doing rather poorly. In spite of the great rivalry, they came together. The bonding factor was the De La Salle College in the upper part of our parish. The De La Salle Brothers ran a very good school. There were no more than 200 boys but they could play well above their lot. It was a great GAA school. All of the boys — except myself, I went to a boarding school in Monaghan — were from De La Salle. It was a natural transition". St Joseph's won an unofficial Ulster Senior Club Football Championship against St John's in Irvinestown in 1966, reached the first official final in 1968 and won the official tournament in 1975; they remained the only Donegal club to do so ...

The objective of the sport is to score by kicking or punching the ball into the other team's goals (3 points) or between two upright posts above the goals and over a crossbar above the ground (1 point). Players advance the football up the field with a combination of carrying, bouncing, kicking, hand-passing, and soloing (dropping the ball and then toe-kicking the ball upward into the hands). In the game, two types of scores are possible: points and goals. A point is awarded for kicking or hand-passing the ball over the crossbar , signalled by the umpire raising a white flag.
