There were heartwarming scenes at the Paediatric Ward in Letterkenny University Hospital on Friday as Donegal stars Michael Murphy and Ryan McHugh paid their annual visit.
In true Christmas spirit, Murphy and McHugh brought gifts for the children in the hospital.
The players’ visit had kind words for all the patients and it certainly brought joy to the faces of the children, their families and the hard-working staff at LUH.
