IT MAY STILL be the month of February but it was remarked widely that Sunday’s Allianz League Division 1 clash between Donegal and Mayo.
Donegal were 1-14 to 1-12 winners against the Connacht champions and are sitting pretty now, top of top flight with three wins from three. The Twitter world seemed to enjoy the match as well …

Even Conor McGregor may have struggled in the Mayo-Donegal game. Physical, bruising and plenty of belting 1-14 to 1-12 to Donegal,

Donegal Mayo, both teams prob remember being told “dont take the ball into contact” but cant help themselves. Donegal in particular
Imagine marking Ryan mchugh, youd see him for the hand shake at the start then would see him again till the hand shake at the end, class act
