Donegal V Derry Ulster Quarter Final June 16th

[drici]

17.41 – Half-time; Donegal 1-06 Derry 0-04 Michael Murphy taps it over to get his name on the scoresheet for the first time with the last stroke of the game — a converted free. The players trot in and the crowd of 11,000 file out for a well deserved warm drink.


17.37 – Donegal 1-05 Derry 0-04 Put these words in order: Bradley. Free. A. Scores. From.


17.35 – GOAL!  Donegal 1-05 Derry 0-03

Daylight. Conor McFadden made an excellent, incisive run to the byline and tried to punch the wet ball over the bar. It instead drops to Leo McLoone, who sweeps it home.


17.33 – Donegal 0-05 Derry 0-03 Donegal's Anthony Thompson bursts forward and lands a lovely score for Jim McGuinness's side before a quick, long ball causes problem in the famous Donegal defence and they give Bradley a chance to tack on another one with a free. Which he does. 30 minutes on the clock.


17.29 – Donegal 0-04 Derry 0-02 "Donegal are strangling this game," sighs Marty Morriessy. Derry have got the deficit down to two points thanks to a Paddy Bradley free kick however and are enjoying their fair share of possession.


17.23 – Donegal 0-04 Derry 0-01 Patrick McBrearty stretches the Donegal lead to three points with a nice, well-worked point with the provincial champions now looking in control with 20 minutes on the clock. McBrearty is sitting his Leaving Cert exams at the moment and in no way does that make me feel inadequate.


17.18 – Donegal 0-03 Derry 0-01 Colm McFadden kicks a free, having been fouled himself, to open up a two-point lead for Donegal after 12 minutes or so. Moments later Conleith Gilligan fails to do likewise, missing a free from further out down the other end. The crowd look absolutely soaked but the game has been lively enough so far.


17.12 – Donegal 0-02 Derry 0-01 Mark Lynch levels it up and gets the Red Hand ticking over with a lovely score in tough conditions before a bright-looking David Walsh opens his account down the other end.


17.09 – Donegal 0-01 Derry 0-00 Colm McFadden makes amends moments later as he taps over a straightforward free, which was awarded generously by the referee. The champions are up and running.


17.08 – Missed opportunity for an early score as Michael Murphy confounds any sharpness concerns as he's quick off the mark to feed Colm McFadden but his punched effort is flagged wide. Conditions are wet and wild. More importantly Karl Lacey is wearing white boots.

Game over. Derry are absolutely dire, worse than Oisins commentary.

Derry very poor, the second goal means the game is already over.

Derry are being beat by triple scores. They must be the worse team in Ulster.
