Three Donegal players have been named in the GAA.ie Team of the Week.
While Jim McGuinness’ men didn’t get too far out of second gear against Down, they still did more than enough to secure their place in the Ulster Final.
Now a rematch of last year’s Ulster finale against All-Ireland Champions Armagh is on the table in two weeks’ time.
Michael Langan, Daire O’Baoill and Shaun Patton all earned nominations for their superb individual performances in the Semi-Final.
Langan set up Paddy McBrearty for Donegal’s only game of the contest in the first half, as well as knocking over a super 2-point free late in the contest to earn his second Team of the Week nod in as many weeks.
Meanwhile Sean Patton was as solid as ever in goal for his county – including a crucial save following a rare kick-out error in the final ten minutes of the match, as he also made the Team of the Week for the second time in a row.
Daire O’Baoill as ever was the engine of the Donegal side, knocking over a fine 2-pointer himself in the contest also to earn himself a well-deserved nomination.
