Sounded like AFCON.

An Ghaeltacht are the All-Ireland Intermediate champions, after beting Glenullin 0-12 to 0-06 at Croke Park this afternoon.

However, a big talking point from the game was the use of vuvuzelas by supporters of the Derry club, with the horns clearly audible and distracting, even over the TV.

"They obviously have great camaraderie and team spirit and good footballers. So, the same can be said about ourselves. It'll be all on the day. We will do our homework as they will do their homework on us.

"And at the end of the day, when the boys walk over that white line, it'll be up to them and the five subs that come on to do the business, and we have great faith in our lads.

"They've been through a lot during the year and I hope and wish that they do their best, and make, as I say at times, make fewer mistakes than the opposition and who knows after that.”
