Diarmuid Connolly’s return to action in Dublin’s dead rubber victory over Tyrone and Mayo’s gutsy win over Donegal generated plenty of activity on social media…

Unlucky to the Tyrone u23’s today against Dublin. Like our u14’s they still need abit of guidance from Micky Harte, but the future’s bright. Looking forward to coming home and watching our seniors in the semi final next Sunday.

Aidan o shea had a poweful game as did Colm Boyle as the sweeper but durcan was enormous. Snuffed out one of Donegal’s and the countries most dangerous players. Savage game

Lads Joe McQuillan, how is he still refereeing never mind refereeing Dublin games 😱

Connolly back starting! Great for GAA fans to watch him in action.... but surely there’s a few Dublin players a bit put out that he’s in after only two weeks & they’ve been training all year & last year.

Not a great game but good to see Dermo & Berno back on the pitch 💙

Are the super 8’s done and dusted? Was a big advocate of them when they were announced but don’t see much love for them after the two years?

For whatever reason this is a very exciting dead rubber in Omagh! 😱

My favourite bit of sports news today is that Tom Parsons is back in the #Mayo squad for the match v #Donegal in Castlebar. What an absolute warrior! #Super8s #MAYvDON

Mayo turn into a different team come August. A week to work on shot selection and shooting and they may even put it up to the Dubs!
