Donal O’Hare: Down up for a battle against Monaghan

Donal O’Hare has rejected talk of unrest in the Down camp and insists the players will produce a performance on Sunday to make their supporters proud again.

Rumours of low turnouts at training and general apathy in the wake of relegation from Division One, when they lost all seven games and finished with the worst scoring difference in the country, have peppered the build-up to Down’s Ulster SFC first round game against Monaghan.

Yet O’Hare believes disillusioned fans will be pleasantly surprised by the strength of their challenge in Clones.
