Donegal are Nickey Rackard Cup champions for a record fourth time after they delivered a sensational finish to overcome a six-point deficit against Mayo in this afternoon’s Croke Park decider.

Woeful first half inaccuracy led the Tír Chonaill men to shoot just 0-8 from 25 shots in the first half, while Mayo hit 0-12 from 14, led by Shane Boland. The Tooreen attacker had 0-9 on the day, seven from play, and they were six points clear shortly after half time when Boland and Seán Kenny found the target.
