NFL Division Two
Tipperary 2-5 Donegal 1-9
After two defeats in Division Two Donegal got back to winning ways on Saturday Night at Semple Stadium but it was far from convincing. Glenswilly’s Michael Murphy scored seven points for Donegal and a goal from Stephen Griffin had John Joe Doherty’s side ahead 1-9 to 1-3. Late points and a Robbie Costello goal brought Tipperary close but not close enough as Donegal snatched the win by a single point.
