Cork are set to play Donegal this weekend as the second round of All-Ireland Senior Football Championship round-robin fixtures get underway. Here's everything you need to know about Cork v Donegal.
For the Rebel County, they will be looking to make it back-to-back wins in the round-robin so far. Last time out, John Cleary's men travelled to Cusack Park to face Munster rivals Clare. After a strong start, Cork found themselves level with 13 minutes to go, But points from Tommy Walsh, Mark Cronin and Steven Sherlock ensured that the visitors would come away with the win, with a final score of 1-13 to 1-11.
For Jim McGuinness's Donegal side, they will be looking to continue their winning run in this one. The Tír Chonaill welcomed their Ulster rivals Tyrone to Ballybofey in their Sam Maguire opener, in a rematch of the provincial semi-final. The Ulster champs did not need extra time this time around to defeat the Red Hands, winning with a final score of 0-21 to 0-14.

This will be the second time the two counties have met this year. In their Division Two match-up, Donegal stormed to victory, with a final score of 1-20 to 2-6 victory in Ballybofey.
A win for either side would guarantee them a place in the preliminary quarter-finals at least and enhance their chances to win the group and qualify for the quarter-finals.
