Donegal's joy from two-point range sees them overcome Dublin in football league opener

That duck egg in last year’s All-Ireland cost them dearly as Kerry recorded five and 10 was the final margin, but here their long-range striking was on song against a relatively callow Dublin side.

DUBLIN 0-20 (0-2-16) DONEGAL 1-20 (1-5-10)

For a team that couldn’t register a two-pointer on their previous visit to Croke Park, Donegal’s kicking boots were certainly on with five double efforts in this Division 1 opener.
