Thousands of loyal Donegal fans turned up at MacCumhaill Park today to come face-to-face with their GAA heroes.

The meet and greet session was a huge success as Jim McGuinness and his team of stars lined up to welcome fans.

One by one the players including Michael Murphy, Neil Gallagher, Karl Lacey and Rory Kavanagh lined up to sign jerseys and have their photographs taken.

This is the last time the players will become involved in a public meet and greet before buckling down to the task of beating Kerry in the Al-Ireland final at Croke Park on September 21st.

Nothing was a bother for the Donegal players as many speechless young fans met their idols for the first time.

Raphoe piper Christy Murray added a bit of flavour to the occasion with a blast of his bagpipes that are now a fixture at all Donegal games.

Fans get ready to meet their heroes!
