Jim McGuinness believes Donegal will win Ulster Final.
Jim McGuinness has said he believes Donegal will win the much-anticipated Ulster Championship Final against rivals Tyrone.
Writing in the Irish Times, the former All-Ireland-winning boss said he believes Donegal have the forwards to get them over the line against Mickey Harte’s team.
And he says that any fan lucky enough to get a ticket for the game are in for an absolute belter – with no quarter given by either side.
“It will be a stereotypical Ulster championship match drawn from all the ingredients of the Clones afternoons of our childhood. Neither side will surrender the middle of the pitch. Both teams bring pace in certain areas of the field.
Both sides have a clear and organised gameplan. It will come down to very fine margins. It will come down to free taking.
“It will come down to discipline and to big players stepping up. I do believe Donegal hold that edge in terms of marquee forwards and I believe they will win because of this.
“It is not just a match to savour – it is a day to savour. They don’t come around very often because it takes years to reach the height that this rivalry is now at and, even then, teams seldom have the consistent excellence to clash so often.
“It will be a privilege for supporters lucky enough to be there. And for the players on both sides, it will be one of the days of their lives.”
