'We're playing a top three side' - McIver

Donegal manager Brian McIver
Donegal football boss Brian McIver believes his side will face one of the top three university sides in the country when the Tir Chonaill men take on UUJ tomorrow night (Thursday) in the Gaelic Life McKenna Cup. Ironically McIver and Co. will be taking on a side jointly managed by Adrian McGuckin, a member of McIver's own backroom team. "Jordanstown are obviously a very good side," McIver opined. "Along with DCU and Queen's they are in the top three university sides in the country. "I saw them earlier in the year against St. Mary's. They were very impressive. Obviously with players like Mark Lynch and Raymond Mulgrew they need to be respected. "We are expecting a tough game. We played Jordanstown last year and there was only a kick of the ball in it and we are not expecting anything different on Thursday evening. "We know that the lads who are coming in are going to be really tested. But that is what we want."
