Derry back in promotion hunt as Bradleys turn on the style
Full-forward Paddy landed seven of the winners’ 11 points five of these in the first-half, including a monster long-range free while his brother, corner-forward Eoin, was shown a red card by Donegal referee Robert O’Donnell after a 25th incident involving Sligo defender Neil Ewing.
The dismissal hardly ruffled Derry, however, and after leading by four points at the break, 0-7 to 0-3, they coped with Sligo’s more purposeful second-half response.
