They will soak in their All-Ireland success for a few days, but it won’t be long before attention turns to the “ultimate goal” of making the breakthrough to the senior set-up, according to Cork U-20 star Ben Cunningham.

Croke Park will present details of its review into finance, governance and the Academy to Donegal clubs at tonight’s monthly meeting of the county board.

If the All-Stars football team was being picked today, Karl O’Connell would be many people’s shoo-in for his second award – at a time in life when many players of a similar vintage have retired.
