There were moving scenes in Croke Park ahead of today’s All-Ireland final between Mayo and Dublin as the Donegal 1992 panel were honoured before the crowd of 82,000 GAA supporters.
1992 was a landmark year for Donegal as Brian McEniff’s team overcame Dublin, and has gone down in history as one of the most intense GAA matches of all time.
Overcoming the Dubs 0-18 to 0-14 25 years ago, Donegal was the GAA’s honorary Jubilee Team this weekend, marking 25 years since the men played on the same pitch – although this time they swapped out the county colours for tailored suits!

Killybegs man Manus Boyle was given the title Man of the Match after the All-Ireland win, with Michael Murphy following in his footsteps and receiving the same title 20 years on.

The Jubilee has inspired people to share their pictures of the 1992 celebrations in The Hills – and we can safely say this one is definitely one of our favourites!
