McEniff looks forward to Armagh replay

Donegal boss Brian McEniff will put his anger with the Ulster Council behind him when naming his side for Saturday's Ulster SFC semi-final replay with Armagh.

McEniff believes his side's performance in almost dumping the champions out of the provincial race up north last weekend merited a home replay.

"I was under the impression that we would have home advantage (at Ballybofey) for any replay. It was agreed with the Ulster Council - it's disappointing now that we must now go back to Clones," said McEniff, who guided Donegal to the 1992 All-Ireland title.

"The Donegal County Board have spent €1.5m on refurbishing the Ballybofey ground and that was done for matches such as this. However, we have to accept the situation as it is."

McEniff, who has called-up Tyrone's Raymond Munroe as team coach this year, will definitely be without crocked midfielder Kevin Cassidy for the rematch.

Donegal captain Barry Monaghan is fit again after sustaining a facial injury in the drawn game (0-12 to 0-12) last Sunday.
