Tigers handed tough League start

Kildrum Tigers have been handed a tough start to their Ulster Senior League season, as they have back-to-back away games against Fanad United and Champions Cockhill Celtic in the opening three weekends.

Raymond McDaid’s team take on Convoy Arsenal at home on the first weekend of the new League season, on April 24th,with two stern away games at Fanad (May 1st) and Donal O’Brien’s title holders Cockhill (May 22nd) following.

It doesn’t get much easier for Kildrum, who have old rivals Letterkenny Rovers and John Quigg’s young Derry team in their next two games, meaning they play four of the top sides from last year inside the first handful of fixtures.

Raymond McDaid's team have been handed a tough start to the new season.

In the Donegal News sponsored League Cup, meanwhile, Kildrum have been drawn in a tough three-team Group C along with Letterkenny Rovers and Bonagee United.

The first League Cup game sees Kildrum play Peter Moran’s Bonagee away on April 17th, with a home tie against Rovers following.
