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.[1]
Sweeney played for Donegal's inter-county team from 1996 to 2008. He won an All Star in 2003,[2] 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.[3][4] Sweeney won a Ulster Under-21 title in 1995. However, he never won the Ulster Senior Football Championship.[1] He did play in the 2004 Ulster final against Armagh at Croke Park.[5] He also played in the 2006 Ulster final against the same opponents at the same venue, and scored three points but lost again.[6]
His brother Raymond also played for Dungloe and Donegal.[7]
