Kildare 1-8 Donegal 0-17
Donegal claimed a fine win over Kildare in damp conditions in Carlow today and have secured promotion back to Division 1 of the National Football League.
Jim McGuinness’s Donegal led by 0-8 to 0-6 at half-time with Ciaran Thompson, Michael Langan, and Peadar Mogan all in great form.
Donegal stretched their lead out to five points with Daire Ó Baoill and Mogan to the fore but Alex Beirne did palm in a goal for Kildare in the 49th minute.
Donegal didn’t panic and they kicked the last four points of the match as they claimed a comfortable victory.
McGuinness’s men will play Meath next Saturday before facing Armagh in the Division 2 League Final on Easter Sunday.
