Donegal final defeat not a big setback says Jim McGuinness

Donegal manager Jim McGuinness denies that Sunday's Division Two Football League final defeat by Monaghan is a big setback.

"It's a wee bit disappointing but at the same time, we have our promotion in the bag," said the Donegal boss after the 1-16 to 1-10 defeat at Croke Park.

"We have Derry in four weeks and that's where our focus needs to move to very quickly."

The Donegal boss believes that Rory Kavanagh's second-half sending-off had a big effect on Sunday's game.
