Driven on by their majestic captain Michael Murphy they maintained their composure when everyone around seemed to be losing theirs. With five Ulster titles and an All-Ireland under his belt, a leader like Murphy could quell any storm. Our job is to play the game and I thought lads put in a decent shift.”But the hosts had Murphy, McBrearty and Jamie Brennan firing and their four-point interval lead of 1-9 to 0-8 was merited. Donegal edged out to 1-11 to 0-9 in front with successive McBrearty points and again, this is what was to be expected? Scorers for Meath:Michael Newman (1-2, 1-0 pen), Bryan McMahon (0-3), Bryan Menton, Cillian O’Sullivan (0-2 each), Shane McEntee, James McEntee, James Conlon, Darragh Campion (0-1).
