Also assessed are the reasons why Gaelic football and hurling struggled to gain a foothold in the county during this period. Also included in a social profile of patrons, administrators and players who were involved in the organising of the original clubs and cup competitions is offered, and an analysis of how these sports fitted into the social, economic and political conditions which existed in Donegal in the period from 1884 until 1914.
