Donegal Town 4 Lifford Celtic 2
DONEGAL Town started this game the better of the two sides and dominated possession for the first twenty minutes.
Despite Donegal’s bright start it was Lifford who opened the scoring against the run of play. Paul Martin’s fine strike left the Donegal keeper no chance. It wasn’t long until Donegal levelled the scoring.

David Graham put Donegal a goal ahead on the stroke of half time following a Joe McIntyre cross.
Colin Carlin grabbed a goal for Lifford midway through the second half to level the scores for a second time. Donegal were soon back on top, this time through McIntyre, whose free kick from the edge of the box bounced awkwardly in front of the Lifford keeper and found the back of the net.
Declan Browne secured all the points for Donegal late in the game. Benny Byrne headed a back post cross across the goal and Browne made no mistake heading home from close range.
