Donegal’s All-Ireland winning panel from 1992 met before and after Sunday’s Ulster SFC quarter-final win over Armagh at the Villa Rose Hotel in Ballybofey.

Thirty years ago, Donegal won their first All-Ireland SFC title when they upset the odds to beat Dublin 0-18 to 0-14 at Croke Park.placeholder image

“It was amazing after 30 years how well they still gelled,” manager Brian McEniff told DonegalLive. “They seemed to pick up where they left off back then. There was plenty of slagging and I came in for a fair bit myself. It wouldn't do if you had a hump on your back.

"Jim McGuinness was there with his two sons and Noel Hegarty arrived with his daughter who was 21 that day. I have to thank Tony Boyle, Joyce McMullin and Anthony Molloy for organising the get-together.”
