Injury-time points from Ciaran Dowds and Niall Campbell (0-09) earned Donegal a 2-12 to 2-11 win over Sligo at Markievicz Park.
Donegal led by 1-07 to 1-05 at the interval, with Donegal’s Enda McDermott and Sligo’s Tom Connelly both netting goals.
Although McDermott added a second goal to the Donegal tally on the restart, the visitors were forced to dig deep.
Keith Raymond (0-07, 0-07) kept the scoreboard ticking over for Sligo. The Yeats men led by a point after 70 minutes, until Donegal’s late flourish gave them their second win of the league campaign.
