Beaten, but not broken. Donegal’s interim manager Aidan O’Rourke issued a rally cry in the aftermath of Sunday’s Ulster SFC defeat to Down in Newry.
After a turbulent 2023 campaign, Donegal will need to dust themselves off and go ahead in the forthcoming ‘Super 16s’ and they’ll be one of the fourth seeds after their five-point loss to the Mournemen.
O’Rourke, who stepped in to replace Paddy Carr last month, feels Donegal were architects of their own downfall and he rued a series of missed opportunities, especially when his side were on top in the first half.
