McDonnell makes it count

DIVISION TWO league finals tend to leave little in the way of a lasting impression but yesterday’s footprint dug a little deeper, if only for another entry into the catalogue of memorable displays from Steven McDonnell.

The Killeavy forward has won Division One, Ulster and All-Ireland medals at headquarters but this latest visit will sit comfortably in the canon of great days he’s enjoyed in Dublin.

Six points was his haul this time around but, as a statistic, it falls short of explaining his importance to an Armagh team that claimed a win in Croke Park for the first time in almost five years.
