Dun na nGall v Luimneach

[Gaoth Dobhair Abu]

Can the mighty men from Hills make it 6 out of 6???

[MrC]

I believe Neil Gallagher is out - apparently carrying a groin injury and won't be risked while Colm Anthony is struggling with a hamstring injury. Think we should have enough depth though to be honest. Perhaps 'Wappa' or Leon Thompson to come in for McFadden and maybe Eamon McGee or Joe Friel for the middle of the park.

We've plenty of options if big Neil doesn't make it - could play Rory Kav or Christy back there, but i reckon we're looking good for six out of six GDA.

Hopefully we can keep the heads and not get too carried away, but I reckon McIver and his backroom team will have the boys well tune for the trip on Sunday.

Tir Chonaill Abu!!

The team seem well grounded this year, so hopefully they won't let recent success go to their heads. It's going to be a long year, and a very tough Anglo-Celt!!!

Definitely. McIvor seems to have drilled a bit of belief and a "never say die" attitude into them, something we've lacked badly over the years. That, and the fact that the big names have to earn their spot, just the same as the new lads, mean that no one is going to be picked based on past accomplishments, even when off-form, as was the case in McEniff's last season. It's looking good, but I doubt if anyone will get carried away, with Armagh and Tyrone on the horizon, and the lessons of past let-downs fresh in the memory.

There is a possibility that come May Armagh could be in Div 3 and Donegal could be League Champions. What a situation that would be. But you wouldn't write of Armagh in that game. If Limerick find their range like they failed to do against Tyrone, Donegal will still get a good game on Sunday.

Tough enough propostion for your boys this one, especially if Limerick bring at least one shooting boot between them!    Galvin and Carroll are capable midfielders and will put it up to Cassidy and Gallagher, I'd say they'll definitely get the ball into their forwards though the Donegal backs should be capable of containing them.

Seven changes from last week for Donegal, with Neil Gallagher and Colm McFadden injured, and five others rested. Still a strong enough looking side.

I suppose a good idea to rest so many - Fermanagh in the last game should provide the pts required to qualify if they slip up this weekend.

Given the Donegal team, Limerick are probably overpriced at almost 3/1.
