Photo: Daire Brennan/SportsfileAt 25, McBrearty was playing his hundredth game for Donegal in a nine-point victory over Meath and, typically, he threatened to score with every possession. It all added to the tension but the cool, wise heads of Murphy, McBrearty and McHugh steadied Donegal. The impetus brought by Daire Ó Baoill, Eoin McHugh, Oisín Gallen and Frank McGlynn saw them accelerate to the finish. SCORERS - Donegal: P McBrearty 1-6 (3f); O Gallen 1-1; J Brennan, Murphy (1 '45) 0-3 each; R McHugh 0-2; J McGee, N O'Donnell, M Langan, E McHugh 0-1 each.
