Confidence boost for Donaghy
Six days after his substitution in the Kingdom’s Munster SFC semi-final defeat by Cork, Donaghy was the star man in the closing stages of Saturday night’s victory over St Kieran’s in Austin Stack Park.
He admitted: “It’s good for myself more than anything else. I could have gone either way when I missed the penalty. I could have put the head down and felt sorry for myself but thankfully I dug deep and came up with a few scores and set up a few scores. It is always good to put in a performance. I’m looking forward to getting back in with Kerry and looking forward to the next four weeks training and seeing who we get in the qualifiers.”
