On a warm and sunny afternoon, the opening day of Super 8’s for Donegal attracted a huge crowd to the Ballybofey.
Donegal overcame the Royals 2-19 to 1-13 to open their Super 8’s with the perfect start.Â
Patrick McBrearty marked the occasion of his 100th inter-county appearance with a personal hail of 1-6 as Donegal came good in the final stages to shake off the challenge of a persistent Meath team.
Both Donegal and Meath are headed for Croke Park this day week, with respective fixtures against Kerry and Mayo.
