Down 0-14 Derry 0-12A relentless performance from Donal O’Hare showed the value of free taking as Down secured a two-point Division Three win over Derry at Páirc Esler. But O’Hare was calmness personified as he coolly slotted over each of his six points in a pressure cooker of a game between the Ulster rivals. And that was enough to propel them over the line with O’Hare aptly drawing the scoring to a close.
