McGuinness seeks club fixture schedule assurances

Donegal boss Jim McGuinness has told county board officials the local club championship will have to take a back seat if he is to remain in the job.

The Glenties manager expressed frustration at the scheduling of club games during this summer’s Ulster championship, indicating to the board this issue must be addressed should he commit to a fourth year at the helm.

Donegal were the only Ulster county to schedule club fixtures during the provincial campaign, the source of McGuinness’ angst, according to county board treasurer Grace Boyle.
