Hills of Donegal to welcome Sam Maguire back home after stunning Croke Park victory

Well deserved win by Donegal (Dún n'Gall/Fort of the Foreigners). Commiserations to Mayo. Donegal's win is as much a win for Ulster/northern Ireland as Mayo's defeat was one for Connacht/western Ireland. Hmmm! "To hell or to Connacht!" (- Cromwell). Donegal's All Ireland win will compensate Ulster for their rugby defeat earlier in the year by Leinster/eastern Ireland. And whadya know, our attention deficit disordered Mayo School Teacher/Taoiseach Ó Cíonnaith - sans mobile. He coulda rang Benny to apologise for his earlier Castel Gandolfo indiscretion.
