ST EUNAN’S Ross Wherity and Kilcar’s Ryan McHugh have joined the Donegal panel for the National League kick-off against Kildare at Croke Park this Saturday (5pm).
Jim McGuinness has selected the pair as he takes his Donegal side back to Croker for the first time since the All-Ireland triumph last September New additions Ross Wherity (St. Eunan’s) and Ryan McHugh (Kilcar).
The opening league game at GAA HQ however will have no memories of the last visit.
McGuinness will be looking forward now – not back.
With Neil Gallagher recovering from an injury St. Michael’s Martin McElhinney is likely to partner Rory Kavanagh in midfield.
There was some good news too from Malin’s Declan Walsh, who take up a half-back role with Karl Lacey still injured.
It’s a great boost for his club and for gaelic games in Inishowen.
Paul Durcan will be back in goals, with Eamon and Neil McGee joining Paddy McGrath in the full-back berths.
There will be a very familiar front three as the three Ms line out for the county once again – Murphy, McFadden and McBrearty.
A large number of Donegal fans are expected in the capital for the game.
Dublin v Cork and Down v Tyrone make up a cracking line-up of entertainment.
