Donegal’s Bonner braces for Derry’s bite

It’s said if you’re once bitten you’ll be twice shy, so Declan Bonner has reason to be tentative as Donegal head to nearby Celtic Park in Derry well-tipped to win Sunday’s Ulster SFC quarter-final.

Donegal showed well in their rather timid but effective 2-20 to 1-15 win over Cavan in the preliminary round and are boosted by the returns of Paddy McGrath and Odhran MacNiallais.

But Bonner has been on the receiving end from the Oak Leafers as both a player and manager down the years.
