Moville schoolgirl plays in Croke Park at half-time of All-Ireland final

A Moville schoolgirl represented her county playing at half time of the All-Ireland final between Donegal and Kerry on Sunday.

Grace McGonigle, who attends Gaelscoil Cois Feabhail in Moville, got to play in the iconic Croke Park grounds.

Unfortunately it wasn’t to be Donegal’s day as Kerry won 1-26 to 0-19.
