Donegal’s game-plan bears fruit

Derry 0-11 Donegal 1-11

Every day’s a school day, says Jim McGuinness. He taught us a valuable lesson yesterday: persistence beats patience every time.

At half-time yesterday, it was Derry’s patience that was the standout factor. Spreading the ball across the field to change the point of attack in a bid to seek an opening, their maturity was rightly being lauded from a height.
