Neil McGee has called on Donegal’s rising young stars to take their chance as the Ulster champions embark on their Dr McKenna Cup campaign tomorrow.
Declan Bonner will be without a handful of first team regulars for the opening weeks of 2020 and All Star full-back McGee sees it as an ideal opportunity for others to step up.
“The Michael Langans, Jason McGees and Oisin Langans, although the latter two boys are out injured, their development will be crucial this year,” he told The Irish News.
“And we have new lads and even if one or two come through in the League it would be good, but a lot of boys have to bide their time and wait.
“The Dr McKenna Cup is really for these new lads and the boys that get their chance and take it will be improving. It is a chance for them to show what they can do and push for a spot in the League.”
On tomorrow’s season opener against Monaghan in Ballybofey, he added: “Monaghan are always hard to beat, no matter what you play them in and ‘Banty' will bring loads of enthusiasm and drive with him.”
