Donegal survive last-minute scare to claim win

Donegal 1-13 Meath 0-14

Yet, while nobody could deny Donegal their merited victory in yesterday's Bank of Ireland football championship qualifier in Croke Park, they were extremely fortunate not to concede a goal in the very last passage of play.

Meath fought with typical spirit, but not their usual flair in attack and never quite recovered from conceding the game's only goal minutes before the interval.
