Dublin Drift Following Defeat
Donegal are being well backed to win the National Football League following an impressive opening weekend that saw Jim McGuinness’ side continue their strong early-season form.
Fresh off their McKenna Cup success, the Ulstermen strengthened their title credentials with an opening victory over Dublin at Croke Park, as both teams lined out with several high-profile absentees. Last year’s All-Ireland runners-up have since been trimmed into 9/4 joint favourites with BOYLE Sports, with Ger Brennan’s Dublin outfit drifting to 12/1 for league honours.
Donegal now share favouritism with Kerry, setting up a mouth-watering clash between the All-Ireland finalists this Sunday in Ballyshannon. The Kingdom were forced to dig deep in their opener, needing a last-gasp point to edge past Roscommon by the narrowest of margins in a finish that left the Connacht side reeling, believing time had elapsed before the crucial score from Tomas Kennedy.
Elsewhere, Mayo (4/1) have also caught the eye of bettors after new manager Andy Moran enjoyed a winning start to the league campaign, guiding his side to an impressive away victory over Galway in Salthill.
Lawrence Lyons, spokesperson for BOYLE Sports, said:
“Donegal look sharp, and with some early-season momentum already behind them, punters are anticipating a big response from last year’s nearly men.”
