Listen: Aoife McDonnell says semi-final defeat could be end of the road for some

Dejected Aoife McDonnell says the biggest regret from yesterday’s All-Ireland semi-final loss to Cork is that the game could mark the end of the road for this group of players.

Orla Finn and Saoirse Noonan hit the goals as Cork won 2-11 to 0-11 at Dr Hyde Park.

Donegal had limited attacks, but squandered a few big chances and will be left to reflect on an afternoon when they didn’t truly do themselves justice.

“It will be a massive regret that we won’t be in Croke Park. you don’t know how many will be about next year,” McDonnell mentioned.

“It feels like the opportunity is gone for a lot of people now. That’s the biggest disappointment: that maybe there isn’t next year.

“It was there for the taking for us. It was a fairly even game. They got the goal and we could never make it up.”
