"All over in Croke Park and it's Donegal who hang on for victory in the opening fixture of Round 1 in Division 1 this evening. Jim McGuinness' men led by six points at the interval and it proved to be a lead they would maintain right to the final hooter. Shea Malone's goal before the break proved to be the difference in the end, although Daire O'Baoill (0-3) and man of the match Michael Langan (0-6) were standout performers."
"FULL-TIME: Dublin 0-20 Donegal 1-20 All over in Croke Park and it's Donegal who hang on for victory in the opening fixture of Round 1 in Division 1 this evening. Dublin succumb to defeat, but their second-half was much improved especially thanks to Luke Breathnach's 0-5 from play. Interesting to note, no sign of the advertisement hoarding behind the interview. Typically, a plastic screen sporting the likes of Allianz is wheeled out for the interviews but not tonight!"
