Niall O’Donnell has been there before. Not last year, when Donegal and Armagh met in another epic Ulster final. He was thinking about the 2022 decider as he kicked the winner in Clones last Saturday.

The Donegal substitute was introduced at the start of extra-time and kicked two points from three shots to secure back-to-back Ulster titles. O’Donnell starred in the 2024 final but in the 2022 final against Derry, he also came on in extra-time.
