Meath v Donegal: What time, what channel and all you need to know about the All-Ireland SFC semi-final

It's a huge day for both teams. Jim McGuinness will look to steer his men to their first final since 2014.

It's no revelation that Meath are the surprise package in this year's All-Ireland semi-final roundup, with the Royal County surprising everyone to beat Kerry and Galway en route to the penultimate phase of the competition. 

On Sunday they face Jim McGuinness' Donegal in Croke Park. A monumental task, but far from impossible.

Meath haven't taken part in an All-Ireland semi-final since 2009 when they lost to Kerry. Furthermore they haven't made the final since 2001, where they lost to Galway.

It's a huge day for both teams. McGuinness will look to steer his men to their first final since 2014. When Donegal last lifted the Sam Maguire cup in 2012, McGuinness was the manager and Michael Murphy was man of the match. 

Another titanic performance will be needed from the Donegal skipper on Sunday if they are to book a place in the decider.
