Wasteful Cork let Donegal take charge

Donegal 3-11 Cork 1-7

Such is the schizophrenic nature of these sides, it's hard to know if the tussle the paltry crowd witnessed is any indication of what lies ahead. This game had all the markings of a meaningless league game, even if Cork came to Ballyshannon with a technical chance of reaching the play-offs.

In the final twenty minutes of the match, Brendan Devanney showed some bygone form, creating two goals before finishing this game with a lovely finish in the 70th minute. Brian Roper also nailed three impressive points, including a superb individual effort in the 61st minute.
