Declan Bonner was already turning his thoughts to next weekend's bottom-of-the-table Allianz Football League Division 1 clash with Kildare after guiding Donegal to McKenna Cup glory on Saturday night.

"We did say at the start of the campaign that it wasn't going to be the end of the world if we did go down - but we still want to be there. We still want to be competitive in Division 1, it's a competitive place to be, and hopefully this win in the McKenna Cup will give the lads a lift and we'll drive on.

"Both teams went at and that's the way you like to see Gaelic football played,"
