HALF TIME in Ballybofey: DONEGAL 0-04, DOWN 0-05.
THE MOURNEMEN lead at the break at MacCumhaill Park in this Division One clash, ahead by a point.
Donegal stuttered at the start, with Murphy missing a free before pointing a second opportunity a minute later.
Ross Wherrity added a brilliant second after some good work from Murphy and Mark McHugh, whose brother Ryan made his league debut tonight.
Then Down came back and pushed ahead, scoring five points as the clock ticked down with goalie Kevin McKernan pointing from a free before then making a great save for Down.
A Murphy point from a free reduced the deficit to leave Donegal a point behind at the break.
Just two points from play and it hasn’t been a great spectacle; Donegal need to shake off the cobwebs in the second half.
