GAOTH DOBHAIR Mervyn O’Donnell expects Naomh Conaill to show a ‘curveball’ in Sunday’s Donegal SFC final.

Gaoth Dobhair put their Donegal and Ulster titles on the line against a Naomh Conaill side reeling from back-to-back final defeats.

Gaoth Dobhair only hit the top gears in their semi-final win over Kilcar.

“Finals are completely different to any other game,” O’Donnell told Donegal Daily/Donegal Sport Hub. 

“Different things happen and no-one can predict finals. 

“Glenties haven’t gone away. You can tell that they’re an organised outfit.

“When you’re around football like Martin Regan and these guys, they’ve looked at all the scenarios.

“They’ll throw some curveballs that we’ll have to deal with.”

Listen to the full interview below …
