Given invited to train with Donegal

Shay Given may train with the Donegal senior footballers tomorrow night as Jim McGuinness’s team continue their preparations for next month’s Ulster semi-final against Fermanagh or Antrim.

The 125-times capped Republic of Ireland goalkeeper was present at Donegal’s 1-11 to 0-11 Ulster quarter-final win over Derry at Celtic Park on Sunday and, as a native of Lifford, is currently holidaying in his native county.

“I have spoken to Jim McGuinness a few times and he wanted me to go up training this week,” the Aston Villa netminder said yesterday.
