Cork’s All-Ireland SFC Round 2A clash with Donegal has now been fully fixed, with the counties to meet in Ballybofey on Saturday week at 3pm.
The confirmation on Wednesday afternoon follows Tuesday morning’s draw on RTÉ Radio 1, where Cork were handed one of the toughest assignments in the championship, a trip to MacCumhaill Park, long regarded as one of the most unforgiving away venues.
John Cleary’s side will come into the game with confidence after their Round 1 win over Meath, but Donegal in Ballybofey represents a very different challenge.
Jim McGuinness’s team have been resurgent this season, and their home record in Ballybofey speaks for itself. The last time Cork travelled up there, in 2024, it was McGuinness’s first game back in charge, and his side won 1-20 to 2-6.
A win would send Cork straight into the All-Ireland quarter-finals, a defeat would push them into Round 3 the following weekend.
