DONEGAL saw off Leitrim by 4-17 to 1-11 in a challenge game on Sunday to mark the opening of a superb new facility at Pairc Aodh Rua – the Red Hugh’s ground in Killygordon.
It was a superb result for Donegal with Kilcar teenager impressing with a score of 1-3 in the first half and Stephen Griffin scored 2-3 after coming on as a sub.
It was also great to see Christy Toye back in action, getting 70 minutes under his belt.
Donegal manager Jim McGuinness used the game to give some up and coming stars their chance.
And he said of those who took part: “You can see that they had a wee bit about them and that if they continue to develop, they will keep trying to get into the squad.”
McGuinness said captain Michael Murphy will be fit to face Cavan in the USC clash with Cavan on June 12th.
Other senior players like Karl Lacey and Kevin Cassidy were rested for the friendly, while Mark McHugh, Eamon McGee and Rory Kavanagh continue to recover from injuries.
The day was all about Killygordon however.
A great credit to all involved at Aodh Rua on a superb day for the club.
