Donegal had an impressive win against Cork on Sunday and the supporters who travelled in bad weather conditions made it a great occasion.
We had a huge turnout of Aodh Ruadh members from all parts of the club to help out on the day.
It was a real team effort and thanks to all. Our workforce at the grounds deserve special mention as the pitch played well despite the huge rainfall of the preceding days.
Thanks to our advertisers who supported the publication of the souvenir match programme which was commended by many on Sunday. Congratulations also to our own Peter Boyle who once again impressed between the posts for the county. We have a huge gallery of pictures from the game up on aodhruadh.org.

A big thank you to the girls who helped out selling programmes. It was good fun even though it rained on us.
