Donegal slowly building up to championship level
Jim McGuinness’s side were given a week off following their last outing — a 1-10 to 0-9 loss against Mayo in Castlebar. And while the cameras and focus of the footballing fraternity will be on Donegal’s climatic league fixture against high-flying Dublin tomorrow, the county senior panel quietly stepped up their training on the dimly-lit Castlefin pitch this week with the more obvious focus being the Ulster championship opener against Tyrone in Ballybofey on May 26.
The maths and permutations are not so simple, but one thing is for sure, if Donegal defeat Jim Gavin’s team Division 1 survival will be guaranteed. Otherwise, it’s Russian roulette with Cork, Mayo, Down and Kerry.
