Listen: “It’s down to some of our own errors” – Mickey McCann

Donegal hurling manager Mickey McCann remains confident of holding onto Division 2B status.

A 2-13 to 0-15 defeat to Wicklow this afternoon made it three defeats from three in 2019, with McCann’s men now looking set to face Warwickshire in a relegation play-off.

Second-half goals by Eoin McCormick and Jonathan O’Neill turned the game in Wicklow’s favour after Donegal led 0-8 to 0-5 at half-time.

“It’s down to some of our own errors,” McCann told Donegal Daily/Donegal Sport Hub.

“We have a very young team. They’re competing very well but we gave away one or two soft goals and they proved the difference. The goals put the game in their favour. We battled well, but the second goal was a killer.

“Our defence was on top but they got punished for those mistakes.  You can’t give away goals like that if you’re going to compete in that division.
