Donegal Creameries might've missed out following the Ulster SFC in 1992, but they didn't in 2012. They'll forever be etched in the memory as Donegal defeated Mayo 2-11 to 0-13 in the final at Croke Park to win a second All-Ireland SFC title.

Two years later, in 2014, the jersey was a little less green but Donegal certainly weren't as they toppled Dublin in the All-Ireland semi-final, 3-14 to 0-7, with a teenage Ryan McHugh grabbing two goals and Colm McFadden the other. It was Dublin's only championship loss in eight seasons, but Donegal couldn't match it come the final, where they lost to Kerry 2-9 to 0-12.

With Jim McGuinness having stepped down following the 2014 All-Ireland final, the win over Dublin was his last ... for 10 years. He was back at the helm for the 2024 season and since then has taken Donegal to back-to-back Ulsters and a second successive All-Ireland semi-final. Donegal lost to Galway last year but now all eyes are on Meath on Sunday.
