Eoin O’Neill: Donegal pose ‘formidable challenge’ to Cork

Cork football selector Eoin O’Neill has welcomed their fourth round draw against Donegal and believes the “formidable challenge” posed by the northerners will provide the perfect litmus test for Cork.

The pair will meet in Croke Park on Saturday week (throw-in 4pm) in the opening game of a fourth round double-header, with Mayo and Westmeath squaring off at 6pm.

Defeated Leinster and Ulster finalists, Westmeath and Donegal, provided potential opposition in yesterday morning’s round 4B draw and O’Neill accepts Cork drew the short straw.
