Training for the Donegal Masters ahead of the 2018 season begins tomorrow night in Letterkenny.
Aodh Ruadh Ballyshannon man Val Murray is again at the helm of the Donegal Masters, who reached the All-Ireland semi-final in 2017.
Donegal lost out to Mayo in the last four. This year, Dublin, Clare and Down are all in the mix having entered the Masters Association, meaning the competition is set to be even more intense.
On Wednesday evening at Coláiste Ailigh at 7pm, the Masters begin their pre-season training.
The fixtures have already been released for the new season.
Each side has six round games to look forward to as Mayo bid to match the Galway side of 2012. ’13, and ’14 by completing a three-in-a-row.
