Career

Born in Dublin, McDonald first enjoyed success as a schoolboy with CBS Roscommon, with whom he won Connacht Colleges Championship medal. His performances earned inclusion on the Roscommon minor teams as a dual player, however, he subsequently lined out with the Dublin minor team that won the All-Ireland Championship in 1958 when Mayo were beaten in the final. McDonald won a second successive title from centre-forward the following year before winning an All-Ireland Junior Championship title in 1960. After joining the Dublin senior team, he won Leinster Championship medals in 1963 and 1965. He was a member of the Dublin squad that defeated Galway to win the 1963 All-Ireland final.[1][2]
