After the game, a young GAA-mad fan bumped into the match official, who kindly offered the cards in question as a gift, as long as he promised not to "sell them on Ebay."
Dylan and his twin brother Padraig are two proud Derry boys, and both play for their native club Moneymore. However, as their mother comes from Armagh, they were happy to go and watch the match.
