Eddie Brennan (Gaelic Footballer)
Eddie Brennan is a Gaelic footballer. A former club footballer with St Eunan's in Letterkenny, with whom he has won numerous county championships, he previously played for Drumcliffe–Rosses Point, the Sligo county football team, and since moving to Donegal, the Donegal county football team. Brennan's transfer from Sligo to Donegal proved controversial, generating much media coverage and opposition from rival clubs. The dispute led to the final of the 2002 Donegal Senior Football Championship not being played until 2003. He had stopped playing for his club by the time it won the 2014 Donegal Senior Football Championship. He jointly managed the St Eunan's senior footballers with Barry Meehan in 2017.

Gaelic Football
Gaelic football ( ga, Peil Ghaelach; short name '), commonly known as simply Gaelic, GAA or Football is an Irish team sport. It is played between two teams of 15 players on a rectangular grass pitch. 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. A goal is awarded for kicking the ball under the crossbar into the net (the ball cannot be hand-passed into the goal), signalled by the umpire raising a green flag. Positions in Gaelic football are similar to ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

2014 Donegal Senior Football Championship
The 2014 Donegal Senior Football Championship was contested by senior Gaelic football clubs under the auspices of Donegal GAA. The defending champions were Glenswilly. They were dethroned in the 2014 final. Format It was announced in 2013 that the 2014 County Championship would begin as soon as the Donegal senior football team were eliminated from the Sam Maguire Cup, which, as it transpired, was in September after the 2014 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final. The deferral was decided upon in September 2013 when twenty clubs voted in favour, while six did not (one club was not in attendance). The controversy over this decision became a "national media story" and irked inter-county manager Jim McGuinness. The format remained the same as the previous year, when a group stage was introduced. 28 September Round 1 senior championship, 5 October Round 2 senior championship, 12 October Round 3 senior championship, 19 October Senior championship quarter-final, 26 October Sen ...

Year Of Birth Missing (living People)
A year or annus is the orbital period of a planetary body, for example, the Earth, moving in its orbit around the Sun. Due to the Earth's axial tilt, the course of a year sees the passing of the seasons, marked by change in weather, the hours of daylight, and, consequently, vegetation and soil fertility. In temperate and subpolar regions around the planet, four seasons are generally recognized: spring, summer, autumn and winter. In tropical and subtropical regions, several geographical sectors do not present defined seasons; but in the seasonal tropics, the annual wet and dry seasons are recognized and tracked. A calendar year is an approximation of the number of days of the Earth's orbital period, as counted in a given calendar. The Gregorian calendar, or modern calendar, presents its calendar year to be either a common year of 365 days or a leap year of 366 days, as do the Julian calendars. For the Gregorian calendar, the average length of the calendar year (the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
