Donegal must not let supporters down
Donegal manager Jim McGuinness challenged his players "not to let the supporters down" when they return to Ballybofey for their All-Ireland Senior Football Championship preliminary quarter-final this Ulster champions will have home advantage against Lough after finishing second in their group. Ideally, Donegal would have preferred to have topped Group One and move straight into the quarter-finals, but their last-gasp one-point win over Mayo in Roscommon on Sunday was only good enough for was due to their defeat at home by Tyrone in the opening round, meaning the Red Hands topped the group and will enjoy the week off due to the head-to-head tiebreaker as both finished with four points from their three suffered his first loss as Donegal manager at MacCumhaill Park in league or championship in that game and he is keen to ensure the same doesn't happen this week."We're happy, it's one game, we have another one next Sunday and hopefully the Sunday after that," he said."We know what is coming down the line. We know if we want to be where we want to be, we had to win this weekend. We did that and we have another game coming."The fact that it's at home is brilliant. The last time we were at home we let our supporters down, so we're hoping to not do that this time around and put in as big a performance as we can." It was a thrilling afternoon in Roscommon which culminated in Ciaran Moore's winning point after the hooter had seconds prior, Mayo thought they had snatched a draw and a lifeline to stay in the championship when Fergal Boland slung over an equaliser, but Donegal's will to win shone through, even though a draw would not have made any difference to their second-place finish in the said he was unaware of that situation during the game and had not been paying attention to the updates from Enniskillen where Tyrone were beating Cavan, but insists all he and his players were concerned about was putting two wins back-to-back."Absolutely delighted - it always is a tough battle when you face Mayo," he reflected."We had to go to the wire and they did that very well. We had no ears or eyes on the other game, we were focussed on ourselves. We spoke about that in the hotel this morning: bring our own performance levels and we're delighted with that."They're playing games in training and there's a final phase called. They have to go do something in that final phase so Ciaran Moore, brilliant for him to step up and the way he went at Mayo's defence and mixed a score under serious pressure was a lot of class. "The squad is huge and you have to have everyone prepared to step in and do the right thing for the team in clutch moments."

Moore breaks Mayo hearts to seal thrilling win for Donegal
Ciaran Moore popped up with a dramatic last-gasp winner to secure a 0-19 to 1-15 victory for Donegal in Dr Hyde Park and send Mayo crashing out of the All-Ireland Senior Football substitute Fergal Boland thought he had rescued a point with a late score, which would have been enough for the Connacht side to move into third spot in the Group One standings and eliminate Moore's winner meant Mayo came up empty-handed and finish bottom on head-to-head with the Breffnimen, who beat them in Castlebar on the opening how delicately the group was poised prior to the game, there was a guarantee of drama and the 18,731 in attendance certainly got bang for their buck. Donegal edge ahead It was tense at times, brilliant at others as this game hung in the balance right until the final kick, which was enough for a Donegal win, but not enough to finish top of the pile due to their own opening day defeat to the Red Hands, who had the head-to-head game began with a bang as Peadar Mogan and Darren McHale swapped early points, but Mayo were fortunate not to be punished with a goal as an Aidan O'Shea slip saw a lightning Donegal counter with Mogan put in, but he thumped Caolan McColgan added another, Mogan was black carded for a trip in the ninth minute and while he was away, Mayo hit three points as Ryan O'Donoghue's frees sandwiched McHale's second of the was a tense opening period with both sides defending well and giving little away cheaply, but the advantage swung back to Donegal following a two-point free converted by Michael the Ulster champions outscored Mayo by four to two heading into the break to lead 0-9 to 0-6, it seemed the game was now beginning to open up a little. Mayo fight back Mayo upped their game early in the second period with points from Jack Carney and O'Donoghue, but Donegal always seemed to have an answer when Mayo got to within one as the point-for-point run ended as Conor O'Donnell and Moore hit back-to-back got it back to one again and it seemed they had taken a huge step towards victory when O'Shea laid off a delicate pass to Jack Carney, who played in David McBrien to swivel and find the net via the the Donegal reply was excellent as substitute Daire O Baoill kicked an outrageous two-pointer to level, whilst points from Murphy and O'Donnell would Flynn pulled one back, Donegal had their chance to put it away as Mayo goalkeeper Colm Reape was caught outfield from a restart and Patrick McBrearty was through and seemingly certain to bury with two minutes to play, but Reape somehow recovered to get a block out for a 45 that Murphy were then denied a goal of their own with Carney snuffed out, but after an O'Donoghue free, Mayo got on the attack in the final minute and Boland kicked over the there were still about five seconds until the hooter when Moore got on the ball and found the reserves to gallop forward and sling over the winner which sent the Donegal support into raptures and broke Mayo hearts.

There were just seconds left when Boland sliced off the outside of his right boot, a brave effort given the wind and Mayo reluctance to shoot.
