McGee happy win over Derry has silenced Donegal critics

Eamon McGee is glad Donegal’s win over Derry has silenced their detractors at least for now.

The exit of Rory Gallagher in the off-season, the postponed club championship and the departure of four players, including Mark McHugh, off the panel last month had put added pressure on last year’s Ulster runners-up to win on Sunday.

But Donegal dispelled all notions they were a camp in trouble with a composed win against a fancied Derry side playing on their own patch.
