By Simon Hunter

Antrim have been beaten 3-19 to 1-09 by Donegal in the Ulster Senior Football Championship.

The Saffrons went down by sixteen points in Ballybofey, after having been 1-8 0-6 down at half time.

Early points from CJ McGourty and Tomas McCann helped Gearoid Adam's side to level the early part of the match level at 0-4.

In the second half, there was a goal for Conor Small, however Matthew Fitzpatrick, whose 48-week ban had been overturned, was carried off with ligament damage.

Antrim will next go into the draw for the qualifiers, while Donegal progress to the semi-finals.

Here's Donegal boss, Rory Gallagher.
