How Brennan became a real Donegal goal threat
When you run your finger to scrape off the dust on Donegal’s season, the turning point for many would be Michael Murphy’s first introduction of the campaign eight minutes before half-time when Armagh visited Ballybofey in March.
On a night when the uprights on the goalposts wobbled in the wind and rain, the captain’s cameo, with the sides locked at 0-3 apiece, laid the foundations for a 1-9 to 0-11 win. From there, Donegal overcame Cork, Kildare and then Meath at Croke Park to win Division 2 before overcoming Fermanagh, Tyrone and the Cavan to lift the Anglo-Celt Cup, confirming them as Ulster champions for the second year in a row.
