The 1999 Ulster winning side
There was extra Donegal interest at the TG4 Ulster LGFA senior decider on Sunday as two former greats were honoured.
John McNulty’s girls might well have come out on the wrong side of a 0-17 to 1-13 extra-time loss to Armagh, but it was still a very proud day for the travelling green and gold faithful.
At half-time at the weekend, Ulster LGFA made a presentation to the first team from the province to win the Inter-provincial tournament, the Mick Talbot Cup.
25 years ago, in 1999, Ulster beat Coannacht in the final on a scoreline of 2-15 to 2-10.
Mairead Gallagher, Ardara and Killybegs, was part of that side as was Aodh Ruadh’s Grace Meade.
Grace is of course the daughter of the legendary Sean Meade, who was centre half back on the all-conquering Galway outfit of the 1960s, which contested four consecutive All-Ireland finals - and the famous three-in-a-row side of 1964-66.
Meade gave great service to the Maroon and White jersey in both codes, played Railway Cup hurling and football for Connacht, and even found time to pull on the Donegal jersey for the 1969 Ulster Championship.
