Powerful Rebels can rock Red Hand, warns Lacey

DONEGAL defender Karl Lacey has seen first-hand what Cork are capable of and he believes Conor Counihan’s side possesses the all-round ability to cause Tyrone serious problems when the sides meet in Sunday week’s All-Ireland football semi-final.

The Ulster side faced into their last-eight clash with the Rebels in high spirits two weekends’ ago having beaten both Derry and Galway in the qualifier series but ended up losing by a crushing 14 points.

Donegal actually scored 2-10 themselves that day but both goals arrived deep into the second half – by which time the game was long over as a contest – and Lacey was struck by the fact that Cork possessed more than one string to their bow.
