WEE MUST GO ALL OUT

TOMMY Durnin says that Louth must go "hell for leather" against Donega - and finally produce a 7 minute performance as they face one of Gaelic Football's challenges toughest Ger Brennan's charges made a summer that will always be remembered in the Wee County when they won a first Leinster SFC final in 68 years.

But having made the AI Ireland preliminary quarte finals by beating Clare last weekend, their reward is a trip t Ballybofey to meet Ulster chana pions Donegal one of the big favourites to lift the Sam Maguire Cup next month.

For Durnin, the three-point victory over Clare to progress from the group summed up the season so far.

They made a slow start and made some stupid mistakes mixed with some scintillatin attacking play spearheade by Sam Mulroy and Ciara Downey.

There is an urgent need to now find a complete performance an attempt to rattle Donegal.

"We have confidence, it's jus that we're not playing to our full potential and that's the mo frustrating thing," said th tireless midfielder.

"In that second half against Clare we did stupid things and I don't know why, when we should just kick on.
