Despite missing Donegal captain Niamh McLaughlin, the Gold Coast still managed to secure their first AFWL victory of the season on a scoreline of 50-46.
Moville’s McLaughlin was serving a one-match suspension picked up in last week’s loss to Brisbane.
A late Jacqueline Dupuy goal has launched Gold Coast to a four-point win over Sydney who had another Donegal star Tanya Kennedy in their half-back line.
Indeed, Kennedy led the swans out on the field with her niece and nephew over from Castlefin for the contest.
Dupuy slotted the match-winner with a minute left on the clock to clinch the 7.8 (50) to 6.10 (46) result at Henson Park on Saturday.
