RORY GALLAGHER HAS named his Donegal team that will face Fermanagh in the Ulster SFC quarter-final in Ballybofey on Sunday, throw-in 2pm.
St Michael’s netminder will make a first championship appearance and will become only the 12th goalkeeper since 1956 to play in the Ulster SFC for Donegal. McGinley got the nod over Peter Boyle from Aodh Ruadh, with Paul Durcan still in Qatar and Michael Boyle recovering from a cruciate operation.
