Meath 0-7 Donegal 3-8The first goal was properly unstoppable and so began another Royal comedown. With that Donegal were already double scores up, 2-2 to 0-4, for the half-time intermission, with the wind at the backs to come. Four minutes after the restart, and with McHugh again the provider, Michael Langan finished off a super counter-attack with Donegal’s third goal. Brennan, to his credit, kept his cool in the Meath goal (and in the face of the afternoon sunshine) to deflect Brennan’s shot at goal in the last quarter onto the crossbar. All Meath could muster in that second half, when with the wind, was three points, Thomas O’Reilly providing the best of them.
