Does it feel like the first time? In his first reign, Jim McGuinness won three Ulster titles in four years. It ignited with their 2011 triumph as they ended a 19-year wait. Ask Peadar Mogan and he’ll chart how that day led to this one.

The number seven was superb on Sunday as Donegal denied Armagh a first Anglo-Celt Cup in 16 years after penalties. In normal time, he created two points and scored one. At the start of the second half of extra-time, he popped over his second score to leave it level once more.
