Declan Bonner says his Donegal Under-21 side will need to deliver ‘another big shift’ in this evening’s Ulster Under-21 semi-final against Cavan at Brewster Park (throw-in 8pm).
After seeing off Tyrone in a replay in Ballybofey last Wednesday, Donegal are up against another old foe at this grade.
The Breffni safely jumped the hurdle of Fermanagh 2-19 to 0-4 in their opening fixture, on the same night Donegal were playing out a 0-14 apiece extra-time thriller with Tyrone.
Michael Langan, who posted six points in the drawn game, scored seven in last week’s 0-18 to 1-9 win.
“It will take another big shift and a disciplined performance,” Bonner said.
“We got out of jail in the first game. Last week was really tough, but we finished strong.
“Once that was over, it was full focus on Cavan. They’ll be a well-organised, well-drilled team. They’ll be a tough nut to crack.”
Kieran Gillespie and Cian Mulligan are nearing full fitness again, but Bonner says that midfielder Jason McGee stands a ‘less than 50-50’ chance of being fit.
