Donegal secure two-point win against Kerry in Division One

Donegal have beaten Kerry 0-23 to 1-18 at Fitzgerald Stadium in Killarney.

The Division One game was originally scheduled to be played on January 25th, but it was postponed due to Storm Éowyn and rearranged for this weekend.

Donegal led their hosts by four points on four separate occasions. Just over 10 minutes into the second half, they led by six.

Kerry did not lead at any point in the match, but they hung in and kept the pressure on their rivals.

Donegal have now won their opening two Division One games.

Earlier in Division Three, Leitrim were smashed by Laois 3-20 to 0-6, while in Division Four Wicklow beat Waterford 3-17 to 1-19.
