Young Conor O'Donnell made his debut [in the NFL away fixture to Kerry] and wasn't daunted by it.
One positive was a senior debut for promising Carndonagh youngster Conor O'Donnell.
The Carndonagh man was voted Man of the Match after he scored 1–3 against the All-Ireland champions on Saturday night at MacCumhaill Park.
Conor O'Donnell's 60th-minute goal put Donegal four ahead after Cavan had led by three in the first half… But ultimately goals win matches with O'Donnell, on the pitch for less than two minutes, skilfully sidefooting the ball to the net from eight yards after the Cavan defence flapped at a mis-hit Jamie Brennan shot.
The Carndonagh forward made an immediate impact on Sunday as Donegal overcame Cavan in Clones…
In for [Jamie] Brennan after 57 minutes, the Carndonagh man found it hard to make an impression against the packed Derry defence.
