DONEGAL FAIL BY ONE POINT IN VERY EXCITING GAME

DONEGAL FAIL BY ONE POINT IN VERY EXCITING GAME.

Donegal traveled to Armagh in the second game of the National League after a comprehensive win over Down the previous week in Ballybofey.Donegal did not come to terms with the pace of the game and were caught out of place by the speed and strength of the Orchard County girls. At half time the score was Armagh 1–9. Donegal 0–5.
During the first half Eilish Ward and Karen Guthrie were the best for the visitors, with Ward the top scorer with Donna Martin and Guthrie covering every blade of grass in the field. Donegal were denied a penalty but it did not really dampen their spirits.
Scorers for Armagh in the first half were Kelly Modhan three points, Aoife Lennon at full forward a goal and a point while Mgs Mc Alinden with four points was their top scorer,and Sharon Peel gone one point.
Donegal other point came from the boot of Grainne Houston.
Subs introduced by Donegal in the first half were Kelly Wilson and Ursula Leonard for Grainne and Teresa Mc Cafferty.
Whatever the Manager Michael Naughton, and coach Barney Curran said in the dressing room at half time a very focused
Donegal team came out in the second and treated their opponents big lead with contempt and added three goals and four points to their opponents one goal and four points, and with little more accuracy from play could have enhanced that. He introduced two subs both from last year's Minor All Ireland Squad Niamh Mc Laughlin and Kate Keaney.Mc Laughlin
Justified her introduction with super goal and a point, and last year's Minor Captain Ward contributed two goals and two points,with the other point coming from Yvonne Mc Monagle the first of the half.Mags Mc Alinden got a goal and two points for the home team and Kelly Mohan two points . Mags Mc Alinden's came almost on time and snatched victory for the visitors in a very entertaining and exciting match.
