HT: Galway 0-17 Donegal 0-1
Daire Ó Baoill hit two-pointers after the restart but Donegal weren’t able to eat into the deficit as they would have liked in the third quarter.
They did managed to get back to within seven points but never looked like getting the result.
Donegal are back in action next Sunday when they face Derry in Ballyshannon next Sunday.
