McEniff playing it low key

DON'T be fooled by our results so far. That's the message from Donegal after a campaign which has picked up maximum points in the Allianz National Football League, guarantee promotion and set them up in the Division Two semi-final.

The county last contested the knockout stages - in Division One - six years ago, when they beat Cork in the quarter-final before losing to eventual winners Offaly.

Brian McEniff achieved a minor miracle when taking over the team early last year, when nobody else appeared to be interested in the job. After a disastrous League campaign and a surprise defeat by Fermanagh (in their only Ulster championship appearance), they won four games in the qualifier competition and pushed champions Armagh all the way in the All-Ireland quarter-final before going under by four points.
