Jim McGuinness praises three Mayo players pre-Donegal clash

Donegal GAA boss Jim McGuinness has singled out three Mayo players for particular praise ahead of the meeting between the two sides in Round Three of the National Football League.

Both of these counties, nestled on the Atlantic coast, have been flying high early doors in Division One, leaving either side perfectly poised to maintain a flawless run in the Letterkenny showdown.

McGuinness and his Mayo counterpart Andy Moran are both aware that victory would take them to the six-point mark, which ensures top-flight survival most seasons.

Now, with tickets selling out for the fixture in O'Donnell Park, the Glenties native has offered his opinion on the positive start the Green and Red have enjoyed.

“There is serious energy with Mayo right now. The belief they have from the start they’ve made, makes them a very dangerous animal. 

“They have their two midfielders, but they have a midfielder at ten and at 14 as well. They have a lot of big and mobile players."

McGuinness was quick to name a trio of Mayo players for praise, according to Donegal Live.

"Aidan O’Shea is playing really well. Jack Carney and Jordan Flynn are in that same vein. So they have a lot of size and physicality. 

“We’ll have to take a good look at all of that now and get ready for the challenge that’s in front of us”.
