Donegal will run out unchanged for Sunday afternoon's All-Ireland SFC quarter-final encounter with Munster champions Cork at Croke Park (throw-in 2pm).

It is 60 years since Irish rock-blues guitarist was born in Ballyshannon, Co Donegal and final preparations are underway ahead of the Rory Gallagher International Tribute Festival 2008 that takes place in two weeks.

UNLIKE 12 months ago, the Croke Park floodlights will go unused for the opening weekend of the National Football League but the meeting of the league and All-Ireland champions in Ballybofey should still be an illuminating spectacle.
