Roscommon and Donegal have powered through to the final of the 2013 Nicky Rackard Cup.

Both semi-finals were played in glorious sunshine this afternoon and Donegal advanced by virtue of a 5-12 to 2-9 victory over Monaghan in Letterkenny, while Roscommon hammered Tyrone by 3-28 to 0-14 at Athleague.

At Letterkenny, the plucky visitors showed tremendous resolve in the first half to take a narrow 2-5 to 1-5 advantage into the interval but Donegal took control upon the restart to repeat their emphatic league victory over the Farney men.

In the other semi-final, the Rossies looked home and hosed at the short whistle as they held a commanding ten-point lead, 2-13 to 0-9, with the goals coming from Gary Fallon and Robbie Fallon.

Shortly after the restart Gerry Fallon fired a penalty to the net to bring his personal tally for the day to 1-9 thus far, propelling the hosts into an unassailable 3-16 to 0-11 lead. They weren't going to let it slip from there!

Donegal and Roscommon will face off in the decider at Croke Park on Saturday, June 8th. Tweet
