Canty wary of Donegal’s ‘momentum’

CORK captain Graham Canty has warned that Donegal’s excellent run through the qualifiers makes them a dangerous proposition in Sunday’s All-Ireland SFC quarter-final.

Munster champions Cork, who have accounted for Waterford, Kerry and Limerick go into the game as favourites but their defensive talisman is forecasting a repeat of the tight match between the teams at this stage three years ago.

“Donegal have serious momentum going into this game after the last few weeks,” said Canty. “They’ve been heavily involved lately whereas we’ve been out of action since the Munster final. I think people were too quick to write Donegal off after their loss to Antrim in the Ulster championship.”
