Despite the final being a losing result for the bookies they remain upbeat on the back of impressive turnover levels.
Donohue added: “The correct score and first goal wasn’t the end of the world for us. More importantly, if this is an indication of turnover for big matches in future then we’re happy to take the hit in the short term. In-play figures were also very encouraging.”
