Ryan McHugh has conceded that winning Ulster titles, or even being competitive at the top level again, seemed a long way off as Donegal experienced 'bad news after bad news' last year.

Donegal regained the Anglo Celt Cup last weekend having already won the Division 2 league title in Jim McGuinness' first season back as manager.
