Donegal began life in Division 2 of the National Football League on Sunday with a hugely encouraging 13-point win over Laois at O’Moore Park in Portlaoise.
Jim McGuinness’ men led by 1-6 to 0-5 at the break thanks to an Odhran MacNiallais goal in the 13th minute.
A superb goal from Colm McFadden just two minutes after the resumption of play set the tone for a dominant second half display.
Laois were then in real trouble when Denis Booth was issued with a straight red card for a high tackle on Mark McHugh.
The fight was knocked the Leinster side after that as Donegal romp home to win thanks to the scoring contribution of ten different players.
