Donegal pray for change in fortune

WHAT Christy Toye and Donegal wouldn’t give for a simple change of luck.

Tomorrow’s Ulster championship game in Ballybofey against Down (4pm, RTÉ) would be as nice a place as possible for the tide to turn.

It’s not so long ago since Donegal were widely touted as the ‘next big thing’ in Ulster football. With the attacking talents of Brendan Devenney, Brian Roper, Adrian Sweeney and Toye himself, it seemed only a matter of time before they ended the dual hegemony of Tyrone and Armagh.
