Donegal manager Rory Gallagher feels there's another All-Ireland SFC title left in his current crop.

Gallagher was a selector under Jim McGuinness in 2012 when the Tir Chonaill County captured its second ever Sam Maguire Cup and speaking ahead of tomorrow's qualifier showdown against Cork, the Enniskillen native believes they can still be a match for any side in the country.

"For sure, 100 per cent. That's ultimately why the boys come back out. When you've won the All-Ireland as recently as we have in 2012, we feel we're a match for anybody in the country," Gallagher told the Irish News.

"If Tyrone were seen as the benchmark, there was very little between the two teams. We're looking forward and, at the minute, the full focus is on Cork."

Speaking on their recent championship record at HQ, he added: "We have a great affinity with Croke Park over the last five or six years. Both the experienced members and the young members of our squad want to be back there and enjoy it. For some of them, it might be the last game or few games they're ever going to have in it."
