The Weekend of Sport on Social Media includes a weekend for the ages for Donaghmoyne Ladies Footballers, an incredible atmosphere for our basketballers and gymnasts and medals galore for our Wheelchair athletes in Portugal.
The GAA was out in force behind a host of provincial and All Ireland Club Championship games this weekend.
One man’s 60 minutes can be his town’s finest hour.

None saw as impressive an arrival though as Donaghmoyne’s Caitriona McConnell who arrived for their All Ireland semi-final; against Kilmacud Crokes in a helicopter that allowed her spend more time with the guests the morning after her wedding. She went on then to score seven points!
