McGuinness set for another clash with County Board

Jim McGuinness was last night bracing himself for another clash with the Donegal County Board over the timing of club fixtures.

With just 20 days until their All-Ireland semi-final against Cork, a round of already postponed club championship matches have been scheduled for this weekend.

The Donegal manager is anxious for his players not to be involved as he aims to guide the county to their first All-Ireland final in 20 years. However, county PRO Moira Graham admitted the games are likely to go ahead after they had been re-slated for this coming weekend at McGuinness’ request prior to the Ulster final. It remains to be seen whether the county players will be involved.
