The Donegal senior footballers have been paired with Down in the 2021 Ulster Championship Preliminary Round.
The winners of that match will take on Derry, who are managed by former Donegal boss Rory Gallagher.
Paddy Tally is in charge of Down, and they defeated Fermanagh in last year’s championship before losing to Cavan in the Ulster semi-final.
Declan Bonner’s Donegal will likely to go into the match as favourties, but the Mourne county are a fast, mobile team, and will be formidable opponents.
The draw for the knock-out championship was made on the Six-One News this evening.
The full draw is as follows:
Preliminary Round
Down v Donegal
Quarter-Finals
Down/Donegal v Derry
Armagh v Antrim
Monaghan v Fermanagh
Tyrone v Cavan
Semi-finals
Down/Donegal/Derry v Tyrone/Cavan
Armagh/Antrim v Monaghan/Cavan
