2022 Donegal county football team season

[3] Part of the responsibility of Brady — originally from Clonoe, County Tyrone — was to work with players arriving into the senior squad from underage teams.

[9] List of players Neil McGee remained injured ahead of the season, following the 2021 Ulster Senior Football Championship semi-final against Tyrone.

[20] Nine players made their senior debut in this competition, though only three — Odhrán Doherty, Charles McGuinness and Shane O'Donnell — played in each of the four games.

[24] Ahead of the final round of fixtures (and Donegal's game against Armagh), injuries ruled out Oisín Gallen, Langan, McGonagle, Niall O'Donnell and Ciarán Thompson.

We got the electric start (with Rory Grugan's goal after 10 seconds) then conceded six points in a row, but the lads wanted to push up on Patton's kick-out.

"[29] Pauric McShea wrote, following the season-ending loss to Armagh: "If there was a technical report on Donegal 2022 it would possibly read 'Too cautious and not emerging from their passivity to have a crack'".

McShea also wrote: "Dismay at Donegal's demise in the championship this year should be partially offset by the team's display in the first quarter of our game with Armagh last Sunday week.
