Donegal ready for wide open spaces of Croke Park

THE buzz is back for Donegal footballers.

By Jim McGuinness’s admission, last week was a tough one, spent reflecting on the Ulster title that got away. The mood changed utterly on Sunday with the news that Donegal’s next assignment would be Meath in Croke Park.

“We are all buzzing with the news, everyone is psyched to be playing Meath, especially in Croke Park,” McGuinness says. “It will have a real big day feel about it, we are travelling up on Saturday, staying overnight, and Croke Park is an unbelievable spot to play in. The fact that there are three teams from the north-west involved will only add to the occasion.”
