St. Jarlath's College past-pupil John Haran sees Galway as being "dangerous" opposition for Donegal.

The former Donegal midfielder, who was a boarder at the famous Tuam football nursery and lined out alongside Galway All-Ireland winners Padraic and Tommie Joyce, Michael Donnellan,  Tomas and Declan Meehan, and John Divilly when Jarlath's lifted the Hogan Cup in 1994, is acutely aware of Galway's tradition for producing outstanding forwards.

"When Galway have forwards, they always seem to be a wee bit cocky," Haran noted in the Irish News.

"They always seem to play with their heads up and their chests out. They don't lack confidence.

"A Galway team with good forwards is always dangerous. Forwards win games so Galway are dangerous," added Haran, who received the man of the match award at the age of 38 following St. Eunan's Donegal SFC final victory over Glenswilly last November.
