DONEGAL MOVED INTO the semi-finals of the Ulster SFC thanks to a 2-12 to 0-11 win over Fermanagh at Sean MacCumhaill Park this afternoon.

On a day when Neil McGee was sent off just before half-time, Odhrán Mac Niallais netted a brace of goals for Donegal, who clicked through the gears despite their numerical disadvanatge in the second half.

Donegal looking good today! Odhrán Mac Niallais serious baller!

— Paddy Breen (@PaddySheen) June 12, 2016

Only took 3 Championships for RTÉ commentators to get Odhrán Mac Niallais's name right from the start of a game. #SundayGame

Much better second half by #Donegal today but still a lot of questions/concerns. A lot of players look heavy legged …

— Mary-Ellen (@memseire) June 12, 2016

13 of the Donegal players used today got game-time in the 2012 All-Ireland final.

Christy Toye has another 18years of county football left in him yet. #Donegal #prideofcreeslough

Frank McGlynn hasn't given a ball away since 1996 #Donegal #GAA

— Conor Mackle (@ConorMackle) June 12, 2016

Delighted with Donegal today. Courage in abundance! No bad thing to be a little under the radar this year. #Donegal #GAA

— Martin McConigley (@MMcConigley) June 12, 2016

Bit hairy at times, but overall Donegal's class and experience shone through… A lot more work needed before Monaghan though! #DonvFer ?

Some response from Donegal in the second half. McGinley solid and confident in goals. Hopefully we're in for a good summer.

— Kelvin Slowey (@kelvinslowey) June 12, 2016

Inaccuracy under pressure and decision making in final 3rd really killing Fermanagh. Donegal picking them off with ease and accuracy.

— Chris Lynch (@CLSportsPsych) June 12, 2016

Doubt if Michael Murphy anywhere near full fitness.
