CASEMENT PARK LAST night hosted a festival of football as the GAA paid tribute to Michaela McAreavey.
A night to remember the 27-year-old, who died tragically while on her honeymoon with husband John in Mauritius last year, saw All-Ireland SFC winners Donegal take on an Ulster selection in a charity match at the Belfast ground.
The game was organised to raise funds for the Michaela Foundation with limited edition jerseys available to buy.
Michaela’s father and Tyrone senior football manager Micky was among the 18,000-strong crowd as Ulster won 2-12 to 1-12.

A repeat of the other week would be nice
@Hon Tipp: a repeat of the two matches in the semi from ten years ago would be better!
This being a two legged affair is ridiculous, should suit the pool that their two closest rivals have a couple of more games to contend with in January. Having said that I’m looking forward to the ties,, should be good. :)
@Devilsavocado: United are no rivals of Liverpool anymore my friend…!!
@Devilsavocado: just balances things out nicely with Liverpool having the 2 extra games now this week
@Devilsavocado: extra games in the same country are definitely better than extra games in a short time, thousands of miles away.
@Devilsavocado: I mistook that as their two closest rivals being Man. City and Man Utd……..long way back for the prawn sangers brigade.
Great chance for Leicester to win a cup
Extra games for City and Leicester …..Liverpool enjoying a break from the winter cold….trophy up for grabs Saturday…..Win Win.
