Donegal manager Jim McGuinness says his team will square off against a ‘very well organised’ Fermanagh side in O’Donnell Park today.Jim McGuinness, Donegal manager.
The Erne county were tipped in many quarters to be relegated back to the third tier.
However, they have made a very strong start so far drawing with Meath in Navan before beating Kildare on home turf.
McGuinness knows Fermanagh manager Kieran Donnelly from their days playing Sigerson Cup football together at the University of Ulster, Jordanstown.
Donnelly is an astute football man and his team will head to Letterkenny with a plan.
“I know Kieran Donnelly very well – I was in college with him.
“They are very well organised. They are very well tutored if you like. Everyone knows what they are doing.
“A bit like Cavan as well, they are very good on their own kick-outs and they are very dogged on their own kick-outs.
“If you get into a tussle with them in there normally teams lose in that situation.
“It’s going to be a battle and we know that and we understand that.
“Fermanagh are on three points and that says a lot for the work that the men in charge are doing.”
