Galway’s Tracey Leonard said her side’s character shone through as her hat-trick of goals helped Galway to an impressive Lidl NFL Division 1 win over Donegal in Letterkenny.

The win sees last year’s
league and TG4 championship finalists stay in touch with leaders Cork, who
picked up their third win of the season against Dublin in Croke Park on
Saturday evening.
With games being cancelled
right around the country due to the effects of Storm Ciara, Galway recovered
well to earn a 3-12 to 4-5 win over Donegal after a slow start.
“Leaking three early goals
was hard to come back from but it just came down to sheer character,” said
Tracey Leonard.
“We dug deep on a day that
wasn’t for fancy football or anything. We had to fight for it and that’s what
got us over the line.
“We have been in awkward
situations before and it’s just a matter of getting back to the process and
taking it from there.”
