I'm loving the excitement around the Dr McKenna Cup final ! It's amazing how much Donegal has come on from that grueling game against Tyrone, eh? Michael Bannigan was a total superstar in their last match, I mean who scores 1-6?! It reminds me of the old days when Rory Gallagher used to lead us to victory with his wicked performances for KilmacUD. The way they've bounced back from that is just inspiring!

Now, the question on everyone's mind is, can Monaghan take down Donegal? Their win over Tyrone was impressive and Michael Bannigan once again proved himself to be a game-changer! I'm really looking forward to this one, it's gonna be a real nail-biter. I just hope they don't bring out the old pitch invasions like in '98, that was absolute chaos
