DONEGAL’s season this year has been, for the most part, on the up-and-up with the north-west side hopefully carrying that on and taking another step towards an All-Ireland final date.

They started this year by winning the Allianz League Division Two title, beating Armagh by a point in the final, before beating the Orchardmen again in a penalty shoot-out to be crowned Ulster Champions.

They then suffered a slight wobble in the All-Ireland group stage when Cork handed them a rare defeat, beating them 3-9 to 0-16 in what appeared to be a chink in the armour that is a tight Donegal defence.

However, Donegal proceeded to top their group and secure a direct route to the All-Ireland quarter-finals.

Louth are also having a season to remember, making their first-ever All-Ireland Senior Football Championship quarter-final and closing the gap between Dublin and themselves in Leinster.

Ger Brennan’s side have secured some historical results for the Wee County this year, including a draw with Monaghan and a win over Cork in the preliminary quarter-final.

They will be hoping to keep their dream alive this weekend but they will face a tricky task against an accomplished Donegal side back to its best and out to prove that they are well in the conversation for Sam Maguire.
