DONEGAL BOSS RORY Gallagher has made two changes to his team for Saturday’s All-Ireland SFC quarter-final against Mayo at Croke Park.
Karl Lacey returns to the starting line-up despite still suffering the effects of an injury sustained in the Ulster final defeat to Monaghan while Martin McElhinney, who came on at half-time against Galway last weekend, is also in for a start.
Eamonn McGee is also carrying a knock but is fit to line out as Eamonn Doherty and Hugh McFadden drop out of the team that started the victory over Galway.
Throw-in at Croke Park on Saturday evening is at 6pm and you can follow all of the action LIVE with The42‘s team at GAA HQ.

Good man
Some player in his day. Was an outstanding kicker and playmaker and was a big hitter too to top it off. Was probably why he was injured so much.
Common in a lot of sportspeople with that all or nothing mentality. When they reach their lofty goals they’re left with an empty feeling. Good to hear he’s in a better place now.
Could be absolutely metronomic in his kicking. Class player. Good, honest piece!
In the words of Kevin Bridges “Did ye aye?”
I really feel for American college football players. Washed up at what, 22?
As a Irish man what a player and golden era of England 2000/2003 used to love watching England and copying Jonny Wilkinson kick technique.
Class player.
Probably just hungry
Paradise Syndrome.

@Mícheál Moran: his performance against Ireland in the 6N in 2003 was unreal . Ireland hammered him , he went off for treatment four times , each time he moved further and further back and cut ireland apart , dropping goals etc . Bracken the same that day . The both of them were smashed time after time and brushed it off . Then to think that JW played the whole 2003 RWC final with a broken collarbone . An awesome competitor .
