Watch: Highlights from Donegal’s narrow win over Kildare on Sunday

written by Chris McNulty February 28, 2018

Donegal chalked up their first Allianz League win of the year on Sunday thanks to a 1-15 to 3-7 win over Kildare in Ballyshannon.

Despite shipping three goals over the 70 minutes, Donegal managed to squeeze home against 14-man Kildare, who had captain Eoin Doyle sent off after only 16 minutes.

It took a fortunate late goal from Ryan McHugh, whose shot looped over the Kildare goalkeeper, to seal the deal for Declan Bonner’s Donegal.
