Donegal will travel with fuel in the tank and hope in their hearts
While most of the country think they have missed their chance, Donegal footballers haven't even entertained the thought. All but one player, who remained in Dublin for work, were on the bus home on Monday night. By Tuesday afternoon, the squad were seen splashing around in Fintra Strand enjoying the heat of early August in a light-hearted training session. There were no glum expressions to be seen. It wasn't the behaviour of a team who let their chance slip.
"The buzz is good," says returning defender Damien Diver. "Everyone is quite relaxed going into this game, everyone is in good form. I know there are people who think we missed our chance last week, and to be honest, we would expect Galway to be a lot stronger this week. But there are areas where we have to improve too."
