Donegal GAA say they "formally requested a Sunday fixture" for this weekend's All-Ireland SFC quarter-finals rather than one on Saturday.
Donegal were drawn against Monaghan on Monday morning with the fixture set by the CCCC for 4pm on Saturday at Croke Park. That gives them just six days to recover from their victory over Louth, less time than any of the other three sides who emerged from the preliminary quarter-finals. Dublin and Galway will have have a seven-day turnaround while for Kerry, it will be eight days.
