Stephen Griffin leapfrogs Donegal into semis

Mayo 0-12 Donegal 1-09: This was one of those occasions when a draw was as good as a win for Donegal as the Ulster champions sneaked into next weekend’s league semi-final against table-toppers Cork.

Ironcially, it looked like Mayo were on course to book their place in the play-offs for the fifth time in six seasons when they led by a point heading into injury-time.

But Donegal stuck to their tried-and-tested game-plan, working the ball patiently to one of their designated marksmen, in this case Stephen Griffin.
