Ryan McHugh thriving with Donegal’s new approach

Ryan McHugh doesn’t remember much about his father Martin leading Cavan to an Ulster title, but he says his family will always have a special bond with the county.

The two-time All-Star was only three when Martin managed the Breffni County to a win over Derry in the 1997 Ulster final, ending a 28-year wait for the Anglo-Celt trophy. The cup hasn’t returned to Cavan since, and Sunday’s decider in Clones is their first final since 2001, with Ryan McHugh and Donegal intending to make sure there is no repeat of the ’97 heroics.
