Donegal supporters will get a chance to see the Rory Gallagher’s senior football team begin their new season with a challenge match against Sligo next Sunday, December 11th in Coláiste Ailigh, Letterkenny.

Donegal had planned to play Derry at the same venue last December but the match had to be cancelled due to inclement weather conditions.

This match will see Rory Gallagher and his team begin a journey which will hopefully end in Croke Park on the third Sunday in September.

The throw in is at 1.30pm and supporters are advised to come along early.
