Cloughaneely were last year's Donegal IFC winners having lost their previous two finals and they leave behind a competition so fierce few can be confident of picking a winner. Here's the hopefuls

TermonManager: Francie Friel/Johnny McGinleyLast year's championship: Lost SFC status after relegation play-off with BundoranThis year's ACFL: Finished bottom of Division 1First two opponents: Gaeil Fhánada away; Naomh Muire, Lwr Rosses homeProspects: It has been a difficult season so far for Termon with a very young squad. They were hampered by key players having injuries but they should have a full squad to pick from. The return from London of Enda McCormick is a huge boost and he performed well in the games at the end of the season. Star man: Enda McCormick

Naomh ColumbaManager: Paddy J McGinleyLast year's championship: Lost out to Cloughaneely in IFC semi-finalThis year's ACFL: Finished sixth in Division 2First two opponents: Naomh Brid away; St Mary's, Convoy homeProspects: The south-west side will be a little disappointed with their league run, which fizzled out near the end. Were without Aaron Doherty due to county commitments but they were looking odds on to be in the shake-up. Have something to prove in the Intermediate championship after slipping up on the home straight in recent years.Star man: Aaron Doherty

Gaeil FhánadaManager: Aidan McAteerLast year's championship: Lost out to Buncrana in IFC quarter-finalThis year's ACFL: Finished seventh in Division 2First two opponents: Termon home; Dungloe awayProspects: Has been a good year so far for McAteer's charges, winning the Donegal and All-Ireland junior Gaeltacht titles and they have also been competitive in the league. Have a tough schedule in the championship with Termon and Dungloe, two of the big guns, providing the opposition in the first two games. Should make the quarter-finals though.Star man: Bernard McGettigan

DowningsManager: Kevin 'Cookie' GallagherLast year's championship: Won the Donegal JFCThis year's ACFL: Won Division 2, defeating Malin in finalFirst two opponents: Red Hugh's home; Buncrana awayProspects: After a great finish to the league, Na Dunaibh will be among the favourites for the championship and even though it will be tough, they look like a side that will make the quarter-finals. Their league form has been impressive and they look like a side on the up at the moment.Star man: Johnny McGroddy
