Galway's victory on Sunday was tinged with poignancy.
David Burke's captain speech to accept the Liam MacCarthy cup that they have coveted for so long was powerful, and it was truly fitting.
Burke paid homage to the fallen soldiers that weren't there to witness their great victory, those that the Galway lads looked up to, those that they went to battle alongside.
The Galway captain paid beautiful tribute to the late legend Tony Keady, sparking chants all around the stadium for the man of the match of the 1988 final.
He spoke of Donoghue's passing, the effect it had on the tight-knit bunch, and you just knew that they were fighting for him, in honour of him.

Flynn did it for him. They all had a cause, they all have come through their own personal battles, and it's truly beautiful that sport can provide us with a chance to express this love.Mayo star’s Kobe McDonald comments will be bittersweet for Mayo fans
