Down into MFC Final

Ulster Minor Football Championship Semi-Final:
Donegal 1-08 Down 1-10

Down secured a place in the Ulster GAA ESB MFC final for the first time since 2005 by beating Donegal 1-10 to 1-8 at Clones.

Down led early on but Donegal fought back with a goal by Dermot Molloy and trailed the Mournemen by just one point, 0-7 to 1-3, at the interval.

Ross McGarry’s second-half goal helped Down to a five-point lead and although Donegal pegged them back, Down ran out two-point victors.

Armagh and Monaghan will contest the second semi-final next Saturday.
