Meath 0-7 Donegal 3-8
Donegal picked up their first win of the league campaign after they proved much too strong for Meath at Pairc Tailteann today.
Meath started well and went 4-1 up while Michael Murphy saw a penalty saved by Marcus Brennan in the 16th minute.
However, the visitors improved late in the half with Odhran McFadden-Ferry scoring a super goal, and Murphy made amends for his earlier miss, by nailing a spot-kick in the 33rd minute.
HT: Meath 0-4 Donegal 2-2

Donegal closed the game out with points from Michael Langan, Niall O’Donnell and Murphy, they will take confidence from this win before they face Galway in O’Donnell Park next week.
