Kerry boss Jack O'Connor
Jack O’Connor says Donegal looked lively in their NFL win over Dublin on Saturday night as the Kerry boss gets set to welcome Jim McGuinness’ side to the Kingdom next.
Donegal’s Division 1 clash with Kerry was originally scheduled for Round 1 but that fixture fell foul of the weather.
And following Kerry’s late win over Derry in Celtic Park on Sunday, O’Connor immediately zoned in on Donegal.
The Oak Leafers had led by five with five minutes left after a Shane McGuigan goal was quickly followed by points from substitute Lachlan Murray and McGuigan.

However, a goal from substitute Paul Geaney gave the Kingdom hope and in an extraordinary closing 90 seconds of action, his fellow sub Donal O'Sullivan netted to get Kerry on terms before Geaney majored again moments later to stun the home supporters as the visitors snatched a 5-15 to 1-24 triumph.
“Yeah - Donegal looked lively didn’t they?” said the Kerry boss at Celtic Park. “That will be a tough assignment next week.
“I think the whole country knows they have a lot of training done, a good bit more than us. I’m trying to be as diplomatic as I can there. At least now we have something to build on ahead of that”.
