The 2018 Ulster Senior Club Football Championship was the 51st instalment of the annual competition organised by Ulster GAA. It was one of the four provincial competitions of the 2018–19 All-Ireland Senior Club Football Championship.
Derry's Slaughtneil were the 2017 champions,[2] but defeat in the Derry quarter-final meant they couldn't defend their title.[3]
Donegal champions Gaoth Dobhair became Ulster champions for the first time after beating Monaghan's Scotstown in the final.[4]
Donnelly is a well-known coach at schools level having taken charge of Omagh CBS for a number of years while he has also enjoyed success with a number of clubs, most notably in 2018 when he took Monaghan outfit Scotstown to the Ulster Club final where they lost to Donegal champions Gaoth Dobhair.
