Donegal’s season fell into tatters last night in Sligo as Galway dumped Rory Gallagher’s men from the Championship in ruthless fashion.
Donegal were beaten out the gate, 4-17 to 0-14, as their hopes of making it to Croke Park for a seventh year in a row were blown to smithereens by Galway.

Galway outscored Donegal 3-5 to 0-2 in the second quarter to steal a march and it was a torrid night for Donegal fans – many of whom took to social media to voice their displeasure. Others had a more sympathetic outlook but, in the main, the scrolls through the phones won’t be a pleasant experience for Donegal’s players after the heavy loss.
