A late rally, and extra time goals by David Walsh and Ryan Bradley, saw Donegal get the better of Queen’s.

The students had the better of the first half, led by James Kielt, and they were 0-8 to 0-5 ahead at the break.

Queen’s lost Shaun O’Neill and Brendan McArdle to the sin bin and Neil Gallagher’s score forced extra time.

There, Walsh and Bradley netted to seal the deal.
