No going back for McGuinness or players

With a nod to the past and a bow to the future, Jim McGuinness explained just how his Donegal players will embrace the coming weeks as All-Ireland champions.

Beaming a smile, he said: “They had a name for being ‘party boys’ and we’re gonna let them be party boys now for a few days, let them enjoy it and then we’ll re-focus after that but nothing will change.

“We’ll look at where we’re at, what can we do to improve and we’ll put plans in place to try and move forward.”
