Hegarty says McGuinness has been proven right

Former Donegal player Michael Hegarty has hit out at the criticism directed at the team since Jim McGuinness took over.

The Kilcar man, who retired at the end of last season, was disappointed by the description of the players as “sheep” in the press following the unopposed axing of Kevin Cassidy from the panel last November.

“I think it’s very harsh to be writing such strongly worded things about an amateur sport,” said Hegarty.
