IPSWICH TOWN’S new manager Roy Keane brought his side to Donegal last night for their first pre-season friendly on the ground where he made his league debut for Cobh Ramblers almost 20 years ago.

But once again Keane sampled that losing feeling at Finn Park, Finn Harps winning 2-1 last night. Back in September 1989, Keane was on a side that was defeated 3-1.
