GAA: Roscommon keep final hopes alive with victory over Donegal

Roscommon have kept alive their chances of reaching the Division One final with a 2-20 to 0-20 win over Donegal at Dr Hyde Park.

In difficult conditions, Roscommon had a lead of 1-13 to 0-5 at half-time, with Diarmuid Murtagh scoring their opening goal, as he scored 1-4 in the game.

With the wind in the second half, Donegal closed the gap to one point with eight minutes left in the second half.

Jason McGee, Shea Malone, and Michael Langan all scored two pointers for the Ulster champions as they chased down Roscommon.

However, Roscommon scored at vital moments, with Conor Hand scoring their second goal to secure victory.

Donegal remain top on nine points with Kerry in second, also on nine.

Mayo and Roscommon are both on eight, and face each other in Castlebar next Sunday.

In Division Three, Wexford's great season continues as they ran out 1-23 to 2-17 winners over Clare.

Sean Nolan, Mark Rossiter, and Páraic Hughes all scored five points each, as the Leinster side sits in second place and in a great position to be promoted.
