Shea Malone couldn’t have asked for a better Donegal debut as he was named Man of the Match in the McKenna Cup match against Antrim.
The Naomh Conaill forward hit four points and was a constant threat to the Antrim defence at Erins Own GAC Cargin.
Malone helped Jim McGuinness’ men to a 1-15 to 0-7 win against the Saffrons.
The Glenties man, formerly on the books with Sligo Rovers before focusing on GAA this year, was one of ten debutants for Donegal on Sunday.

Malone was presented with his award by Kieran Megraw, Ulster GAA delegate for Antrim, and Tommy Doherty, Bank of Ireland.
