Donegal Manager Jim McGuinness has praised his team for getting over the line against Louth this afternoon.
Louth kept themselves well in the game for its majority, before Donegal turned on the burners in the final 10 minutes of the game to cruise through to the Semi Final.

Donegal will now play Galway in the Semis, after they defeated Dublin in fantastic fashion on Saturday.
Speaking with assembled members of the media after the match, McGuinness was full of praise for his Donegal side’s work ethic in getting the job done – and using lessons learned in Donegal’s win over Louth in their Division Two League game in March.
“(Today was) similar as we were able to keep on tagging scores in Ballyshannon, but we were never really able to shake them off until the last 10 minutes, and we were in a similar scenario today – which is great becuase we kinda knew it was gonna be coming.”
“We maybe would have been a bit tighter in the second half if we hadn’t had that experience in Ballyshannon but (Louth) are very much on an upward trajectory, they’ve got some brilliant players, some brilliant running power.”
“They’re certainly a team that’s coming and we’re delighted to get over the line.”
