McEniff banks on McDermott to deliver for Donegal

DONEGAL manager Brian McEniff has gambled on the fitness of powerful new midfielder Stephen McDermott for Sunday’s Bank of Ireland All-Ireland SFC semi-final clash with champions Armagh at Croke Park.

McDermott missed the semi-final replay victory over highly-fancied Galway after picking up a leg injury in the drawn game.

He was replaced by Brendan Boyle for the replay, but in light of last night’s team announcement, team boss McEniff obviously considers McDermott the best option as the 1992 champions throw down the gauntlet to the Orchard County.
