278 Shares Donegal 1-20 Monaghan 4-11 Conor McCarthy scored a first-half hat-trick for Monaghan, at Ballybofey, but cut a frustrated figure in his post-match interview. Joe Brolly was paying close attention. Monaghan looked, for all money, to have Donegal beaten when they led by nine points at one point in the second half. Declan Bonner's men rallied, though, and salvaged a draw. The opening half was all about McCarthy as he showed class and composure to bag three goals at Páirc Sean Mac Cumhaill. His first was very tidy indeed: What a finish from Conor McCarthy for @monaghangaa v @officialdonegal in Round 2 of the Allianz Football League! #GAANOWpic.twitter.com/KQuHnZYadl
