Sam triumphantly crosses border into Donegal

The Sam Maguire was last night walked across the border from Fermanagh into its new home for the next 12 months in Donegal.

Donegal team manager Jim McGuinness and skipper Michael Murphy stepped from the team bus and together walked the bridge spanning the River Termon into the first Donegal town on their way home, Pettigo.

Several thousand packed the tiny town for Sam’s arrival back into the county of the hills for the first time in 20 years.
