The fourth and final Ulster SFC quarter-final tie between Down and Donegal is probably the most difficult to call with both teams enduring disappointing League campaigns for various reasons.
Down were strongly fancied to challenge for promotion after relegation from Division Two last term, yet Conor Laverty’s side fell short and will spend another year in the third tier.
However, their struggles don’t compare to the chaotic preparation of the Donegal camp who parted ways with manager Paddy Carr ahead of their final Division One game against Roscommon.
