Michael Carroll says things have “just clicked” for Donegal champions Gaoth Dobhair in the last two years as they head into Sunday’s Ulster club SFC final against Scotstown as favourites.

Meryvn O’Donnell’s team collected their club’s first Donegal SFC title in 12 years last month with a comfortable victory over Naomh Conaill and, needless to say, Carroll feels the group are in a very good place at the present time.

“It has just clicked in the last year or two,” he told The Irish News. “We were struggling for about five or six years, we were a bit of a laughing stock – we were getting knocked out in the group stage and losing to teams we shouldn’t have been.

“But we have turned it on this year when we needed to. We have a great underage coming through, we have a group of lads around 20-21 and then you have the likes of the McGees (Eamonn, Neil and Peter), Cass (Kevin Cassidy) and Odhran Mac Naillais too, so we won’t fear anyone.

“We’ll be going into the final and Scotstown will be big favourites but hopefully we’ll get a look at them over the next two weeks and give them a good rattle.”
