Donal O'Donoghue is a Gaelic footballer for Westmeath & for his local club Mullingar Shamrocks. O'Donoghue joined the panel in 2003 which proved to be less successful as Donal & his team crashed out of the Leinster Championship against neighbours Meath before exited in the qualifiers by Monaghan.[1][2] The year after proved to be a shock as he won his first Leinster medal under Kerry man Páidí Ó Sé only to be denied in the Quarter-final by Derry.
2017 Season
O'Donoghue has decided to give his club, Mullingar Shamrocks, one final season. Many people in and around Mullingar have questioned this decision given he hasn't been a regular starter for Shamrocks since 2014. Some feel that his complete lack of pace will be exposed this summer. However, he is seen as a good team-mate to the younger players and can always be depended on to drive the star men to away games in his sparkling new Audi estate.
