Heavyweights Donegal travel to Newry to face Down, with the stakes high as the loser faces a long summer after the GAA favoured another knockout All-Ireland Championship in this year's revised calendar. And both team will fancy their chances heading into this one, having got through the league safely avoiding relegation and gaining valuable game time ahead of the clash. Donegal will be determined to prove last year's Ulster final loss to Cavan was just a blip, and they came out of Division One North but ran out of steam against Dublin in a semi-final clash. The Mourne men weren't spectacular in Division Two and found themselves in a relegation play-off against Laois, but upped a gear to cruise to a seven-point win and avoid the trap door. Boss Paddy Tally will hope a small Pairc Esler crowd will bring out the best in his charges and help them claim a huge scalp today, and will know that Derry await the winners in an Ulster quarter-final. The game will be played at Pairc Esler in Newry on Sunday, June 27. Throw in will be at 1 pm. RTE will show the game live, with RTE One set to broadcast the game. You can also follow all the live updates on our live blog from the game. Betting odds  Down - 13/2  Draw - 14/1  Donegal - 1/10
