Monaghan's McArdle praises Donegal

Monaghan vice-captain Dermot McArdle rates Donegal are one of the top three teams in the country and believes that a very tough task faces his side on Saturday as they resume the quest for Sam Maguire via the All-Ireland qualifier route.

Following their Ulster final defeat to Tyrone, Monaghan take on Donegal in Omagh this weekend in the third round of the qualifiers, knowing they are just 70 minutes away from a place in the All-Ireland quarter-finals.
