DONEGAL takes on Meath in the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship semi-final at Croke Park for a place in this year’s Sam Maguire showdown.
Meath have been the surprise package in this year’s Championship, having knocked out Galway and registered wins over Kerry and Dublin earlier in the summer.
Next up for the Royals are Ulster champions Donegal, who will approach with caution, as they look to cap off their stellar season with an All-Ireland title.
Donegal won their place at Croke Park with a win over Ulster rivals Monaghan after a second-half comeback which has become the staple of Jim McGuinness’ side.
Meath came out as unlikely winners against Connacht champions Galway, with June’s Player of the Month Jordan Morris scoring 1-6 on his way to a man of the match performance.
The last time these two teams met in the Championship was in 2019 in the round robin stage, when the Tír Chonaill defeated Meath in Ballybofey.
