Rory Gallagher is confident Donegal will regroup after yesterday's Ulster SFC final loss to Tyrone.

The Tir Chonaill men will be hoping to get their season back on track when they face Cork in a Round 4B qualifier on Saturday week.

"You have to learn the lessons. You have to suck it up and get on. It will be a tough day or two, but our boys will suck it up and they will be back," the Donegal manager told the Irish News.

"We have battled hard throughout a very tough, bruising championship campaign and we played really well through periods of it, but ultimately we came up short and that is very difficult.

"You have to put distance between yourself and the other top four or five teams and we just weren't able to put enough distance. The attack played well in the first half, but there was a wee bit of a breeze and we would have liked to have been four or five up.

"But you always want more. The bottom line is that Tyrone put on the pressure a wee bit more in the second half and they showed a lot of quality to hit the scores they did."
