Masterplan from O’Rourke as Donegal put to the sword
Put to the very sword that they themselves forged. This was Ulster Championship at its very best. Unpredictable, intense, brilliant.
The bookmakers had Monaghan at even money with a seven-point head start. The supporters wanted a good performance. The optimistic journalists believed Donegal would win in a two- to three-point game. But when you analyse with a rational mind, this is not a major surprise. The signs have been there for Donegal since the first round against Tyrone. They were amplified against Down in the semi-final. They were exposed yesterday.
