JOHN Cleary's Cork footballers face Donegal in MacCumhail Park, Ballybofey for Round 2A of the All-Ireland SFC on the weekend of June 13/14.

The last championship meeting between the sides in 2024 saw Cork win at Páirc Uí Rinn (3-9 to 0-16) but this long trip will offer a different challenge.

Jim McGuinness' team are Division 1 champions, All-Ireland finalists and have beaten All-Ireland champions Kerry three times this year.
