After pictures from Australia and America in recent days, one Donegal man decided to join in the All-Ireland Final build-up…from Africa.
Kenneth McCorkell and Sinead Boyce are pictured on top of Table Mountain, Cape Town, South Africa in the picture above.
And below back at sea level with Kenneth’s dad and sister during a trip down there.
Says Kenneth: "Me and sinead boyce at cape agulas, the most southern tip of Africa with my father and sister, Esther and Thomas Mc Corkell while they were on holidays with us on south Africa.
Meanwhile in Pettigo, there’s more painting going on….
Dungloe man Mark Gallagher may be married to a Mayo woman – and he must rule the roost at their home in Ballindine. For here is Maura wearing her Donegal top! Hard to believe her dad actually played for Mayo in the 60s. Good woman Maura – free drinks all round the next time you’re in Dungloe!
Mark also made sure Stephen Rodgers – who we featured this week on his Mizen to Malin charity cycle – got a warm Donegal welcome when he cycled through Mayo. The two went to school together. Stephen completes his cycle to Malin Head today.
We believe the obsession with Converse footwear is a bit mental – the power of marketing over the power of mind. But this pair is really special. They belong to Ciara McCafferty who got them signed by the Donegal team. Now they’re worth spending money on!
No picture round-up would be complete without a goat!
So here’s Sam The Goat – happy at home in Chicago, with Donegal lass Sinead Friel
Altogether now…’We’ll build our own Las Vegas in the Hills of Donegal.”
