The Great Redeemer

A FEW days after guiding Donegal to their biggest victory in 11 years, Brian McEniff took a walk up the Great Northern Road in Bundoran.

It’s a short journey, but as he wandered onto Roguey and looked out on his home town, he got a sense of how far his team have travelled this year.

The seaside resort was festooned in flags, Donegal shirts intermingled with the Armagh and Tyrone jerseys so common in the town at this time of year. Eleven years and Donegal were back, the county was alive to all sorts of possibilities again.
