Donegal footballers survive late onslaught by Cork
A 51st-minute second yellow card for Michael Murphy’s high foul on Eoin Cadogan may have been a catalyst, but into the teeth of a hostile wind, Cork found the net through Tomás Clancy and may have completed a rescue job if Donal Óg Hodnett’s 67th-minute kick hadn’t curled wide.
Things had looked bleak for Cork in the 48th minute when a marvellous Murphy free from 55 metres made it five points without reply for Donegal. Unlike Cork, who couldn’t muster a lead after the first half, the home team were availing of the wind.
