Armstrong finds answer for Galway

There were fresh-faces aplenty on show at Letterkenny in the respective Donegal and Galway ranks but, in the end, it was left to experience to settle the issue.

Only on the field six minutes, Sean Armstrong it was who settled an encounter that got more interesting and frantic the longer it went on.

Donegal, beaten by a single, late point last weekend against Kerry in Killarney, experienced a familiar feeling. For Galway, too, there was a sense of déjà vu, with yesterday’s fine victory adding to the scalp of Tyrone last Sunday week.
