Impressive Donegal overcome Mayo

Brian McIver's Donegal side have full points after two games

Donegal showed impressive spirit to claim a deserved 1-13 to 1-10 win over Mayo in Sunday's Allianz NFL Division 1A clash at Ballybofey.

Three Brendan Devenney points helped Donegal lead 0-6 to 0-3 but Mayo fought back to take a 0-7 to 0-6 advantage.

Ryan Bradley's goal helped Donegal lead 1-8 to 0-9 but a Neil Gallagher own goal enabled Mayo to draw level.

However, two Kevin McMenamin points and a free from sub Colm McFadden helped Donegal edge the verdict.

Bradley's goal came after Mayo goalkeeper Davie Clarke had failed to hold a long ball from McMenamin.

Ciaran Bonner was also among the Donegal scorers while Conor Mortimer, Alan Moran, Austin O'Malley (2) and Alan Dillon got on the scoresheet for Mayo.
