Nostalgia abounds in Ulster draw as stronger sides loaded up on one side.
WELL HERE IT is, Derry paired up against Donegal for the Ulster senior football championship after the draw was made on RTÉ.
And that means that Mickey Harte and Jim McGuinness, after all the years and the diversions and soccer careers and evangelism in Louth, are back duking it out for the Anglo-Celt Cup. Derry have never done three Ulster titles in a row before, but with their newly-installed manager, Mickey Harte, it’s another installment of the Harte V McGuinness rivalry.
There’s an air of nostalgia to it, alright. But what lies ahead could be even more spicy. Should Derry beat Donegal, they get to face the winners of whoever emerges from the Monaghan and Cavan preliminary round, with the winners facing Tyrone.In Munster, Kerry are lined up for what might appear a repeat of the Munster final from this year as Clare will face the winners of Tipperary and Waterford, while Kerry of course need to take care of the winners of Limerick and Cork in the semi-final.
