Donegal must focus – Bonner

Former Donegal player, and All-Ireland winner Declan Bonner

DONEGAL legend Declan Bonner has warned that the county must be completely focused if they are to upset the odds in next weekend’s All-Ireland final with Cork.

The Tir Chonaill men enter the match having collected back-to-back Ulster titles for the first time in their history, but the Na Rossa man says they must be wary of the task at hand.
“I do fear what Cork can do,” he said.

“They are a very strong side and the one side you don’t want to face at this stage of the competition.

“I’d hope the boys don’t get caught up in the hype. Jim has done a lot of work in terms of mental preparation. They are heading away for a few days this weekend and they’ll just use that to focus on the game.”
