Up to 11 players could make their Donegal debuts as panel is named to face Antrim

Donegal have named their panel for Dr McKenna Cup clash against Antrim tomorrow.

The side managed by Jim McGuinness takes on The Saffrons at Erins Own GAC Cargin, with a 1:30pm start, with Hugh McFadden named as captain.

Antrim went down 2-16 to 0-7 against Derry on Wednesday night at Owenbeg, while Donegal’s clash against Oak Leaf County was postponed in Letterkenny on Sunday last on safety measures in the cold snap. The match was declared a draw afterwards, with Donegal and Derry picking up a point apiece.
