DONEGAL’S 2018 CHAMPIONSHIP hopes have been hit with a major setback as it has been confirmed that Patrick McBrearty tore his cruciate in Sunday’s Ulster final.
The star forward went off injured after half-time in the clash with Fermanagh and it has been confirmed that he has suffered the season-ending injury.
The news is a major setback to Donegal as the Ulster kingpins prepare for their Super 8s campaign which will begin with a clash with Dublin in Croke Park on the weekend of 14/15 July.

Donegal GAA wish to confirm that Patrick McBrearty's injury has been confirmed as a season ending ACL tear. He will be under the care of Dr Kevin Moran and we wish him well in his recovery.

McBrearty won his fourth Ulster senior football medal on Sunday since making his debut in 2011 and was also part of the 2012 All-Ireland final triumph.
He has been in excellent form this year for Declan Bonner’s men, scoring 0-19 over the course of their four provincial victories. In the three games before his afternoon was cut short against Fermanagh, he weighed in with 0-18 and scored 13 of those points from play.
It’s a major blow for manager Declan Bonner to lose a player of McBrearty’s stature and talent.
