EXPERIENCED attacker Alan O’Donovan is unlikely to feature for Galway’s Corofin on Sunday when they take on Leitrim champions Glencar/Manorhamilton in the Connacht club semi-final.

O’Donovan missed the county final replay win over Mountbellew/Moylough, having come off at half-time in the drawn match with a leg injury.

DONEGALfootball manager John Joe Doherty has welcomed the fact all worries about teenager Michael Murphy embarking on an Australian Rules career can be put on hold for at least seven months.

Rules agent Ricky Nixon recently made an offer to the full-forward. The Glenswilly man, who is being tracked by five clubs, has decided to focus on his studies at Dublin City University. “Michael won’t be making any decision on whether he will go to Australia until next June at the earliest,” said Doherty.
