Defending Donegal and Ulster champions Gweedore showed Kilcar the exit door from the senior championship with an impressive 3-8 to 0-12 win in Sunday's semi-final at MacCumhaill Park in Ballybofey.
In a powerful hour of football, the Gaeltacht men dealt with just about everything that a much-vaunted Kilcar side could throw at them.
Gweedore manager Mervyn O'Donnell felt his team had been 'disrespected' somewhat in media circles in the run-up to the game, when he spoke to Ocean FM Sport's Paddy McGill.
