Who is Adrian Sweeney?

Adrian Sweeney is a former Irish sportsperson. He served with distinction on Donegal's inter-county football panel for a number of decades and played for his local club Dungloe. Considered one of the finest forwards of his generation, he often played alongside Brendan Devenney for Donegal.

Sweeney played for Donegal's inter-county team from 1996 to 2008. He won an All Star in 2003, a year when Donegal made it to the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship semi-finals. He played a crucial role in the team that won the county's first National League Division 1 title in 2007. Sweeney won a Ulster Under-21 title in 1995. However, he never won the Ulster Senior Football Championship. He did play in the 2004 Ulster final against Armagh at Croke Park. He also played in the 2006 Ulster final against the same opponents at the same venue, and scored three points but lost again.

His brother Raymond also played for Dungloe and Donegal.
