Donegal will not rush some of their more experienced campaigners back into action just yet as they bid to defend the Dr McKenna Cup that set them on their way to an Ulster title last year.

Declan Bonner’s team began their 2019 campaign in the northern curtain-raiser with a 0-21 to 0-11 win over Queen’s University in Ballybofey on Sunday.
