‘I've never watched it back' – Donegal's 2014 All-Ireland final loss to Kerry still haunts Ryan McHugh
CLAIMING a Celtic Cross will not define Ryan McHugh's inter-county career — but it would cap things off nicely. The Kilcar man, 31, made his All-Ireland SFC debut for Donegal in 2013 when 2 The two-time All-Star won Young Footballer of the Year in 2014 2 McHugh was just 20-years-old during the final in 2014 And the flying half-back has since won five Ulster titles for his county. He has also claimed two All-Stars but is yet to lift Sam Maguire. Ryan — son of McGuinness' men will now face the Kingdom again in the decider on July 27. Their 11-year wait to reach the showpiece also means Ryan is the odd one out in his family as brother Mark lifted Sam in 2012. But Ryan is keen to join his dad and brother for meals with his own medal bulging in his back pocket.

No regret . . . well, an All-Ireland final is a big regret but in terms of my career, I think I've had a great career. But this would be the cherry on top of it. 'It's going to be massive and we're going to have to put in our best performance all year.' Donegal ended a ten-year wait for a semi-final berth last year. And they have gone one better this year thanks to Most read in GAA Football It will be their first All-Ireland final appearance since 2014 but McHugh admits he has not watched that loss back in full as goals from Paul Geaney and Kieran Donaghy sealed a 2-9 to 0-12 win for the Kingdom. He is hoping to right that wrong 11 years on. The Tír Chonaill ace said: 'It was very difficult. There's no point lying. I've never watched the game back. I have watched clips but not the full game. 'Easiest interview I've ever had' jokes RTE GAA host after pundits go back and forth before Meath vs Donegal "I was 20 at the time and it was very difficult. You thought you were going to be in the semi-final and final every year. But it took us until last year to get back to a semi-final. 'We want to make the most of it. It could be another 11 years until we get back again.' And the Kingdom are just as big a threat now as they were then. Jack O'Connor's men humbled All-Ireland champions Armagh 0-32 to 1-21 in the quarter-finals before But Donegal produced their own ruthless second-half display as goals from Oisín Gallen, Conor O'Donnell and Ciarán Moore sunk the Royals. MAGIC MCGUINNESS And McHugh hailed McGuinness' magic touch as Donegal chase their third Sam Maguire crown. He said: 'The way I like to answer this question is, he brings it every single night. I've been fortunate enough to be involved with him, although we didn't win it, in an All-Ireland final. 'He is on it from the first night we meet in December until the last night for an All-Ireland final. It's the exact same every single night. 'I know that sounds easy but it's actually an extremely difficult thing to do. You could have problems off the pitch — like family issues, work issues and different things. 'But he is on it every single night and demands the most from us. 'And to be fair, the team he has around him is so professional. 'It's not easy to get that, and to be fair to the county board, the finance committees and different things in Donegal, everybody has just rolled in behind him. 'He's a phenomenal leader. He puts sheer belief into you that you are on the top of your game. He gets the training done and gets it into the legs. "There's no guarantee in life you're going to win but there is a good chance that you are going to compete when Jim is involved.'

Ben Healy: All you need to know about Ireland's latest cycling history maker
Ben Healy made history on Monday as he became the first Irishman in 38 years to wear the yellow jersey at the Tour de France. The only three other Irishmen to hold yellow are Stephen Roche – the most recent Irish cyclist to achieve the feat back in 1987 - Shay Elliot (1963) and Sean Kelly (1983), with the latter summing up the enormity of Healy's achievement when speaking to TNT Sports. "What a performance by Ben Healy, going on a big attack. This is the performance of his life. 'We've seen him do magnificent things before but today was another step up." Heading into the first rest day, Healy leads defending champion Tadej Pogacar by 29 seconds in the general classification, after the Slovenian eased off on the final ascent. But just who is Ben Healy? The Irish Examiner takes a closer look at his life and career so far. Where was Ben Healy born? Ben Healy was born in Wordsley, Dudley in the West Midlands of England. What age is Ben Healy? Ben was born on the 11th of September 2000, making him 24-years-old. What is his family background? Healy has Irish heritage through his father's parents, who were born in Waterford. Ben's dad Bryan is the youngest of three siblings and was the only one to be born in England. 'I am super proud to represent that side of me,' Healy told Velo News previously. 'My identity with Ireland has really grown. For sure I was a bit of an outsider within the cycling community in Ireland at first, but after a while, I started to make a few friends. 'There is still occasionally a bit of a backlash, I guess, but I really do feel welcomed and accepted, which is super nice. 'Now some of my really good friends within the sport are Irish. What has he achieved in his career so far? In 2019 Healy won a stage of the Tour de l'Avenir, beating Matteo Jorgenson and Pidcock into third and fourth, becoming the youngest-ever stage winner in the history of the race at just 18-years-old. Healy then won the Irish road race championship in 2020 and also took a stage in the Ronde de l'Isoard. In 2021 he finished first, second, and third on stages of the Baby Giro, or Giro Ciclistico d'Italia, leading to EF Education First secure his services before he made his professional debut in the 2022 season. In Healy's first season as a pro in 2022, he launched countless long-range attacks and impressed greatly with his aggression and will to win. He was however caught close to the line on many occasions, leaving him with several good placings but not the reward for his efforts he was searching for. That year, Healy raced well and secured good placings on a number of occasions, just being caught close to the line in a few of those events. In 2023, Healy won the GP Industria & Artigianato di Larciano and claimed podium finishes in the Amstel Gold Race and the Brabantse Pijl, along with a fourth place finish in the Liège–Bastogne–Liège. In 2024 he competed in his first Tour de France where he finished fifth on stage 9 before landing the combativity award on stage 14 before he then took part in the road race at the Paris Olympic Games, finishing 10th overall. And finally in 2025, before earing the right to wear the yellow jersey on Monday, Healy claimed the first Tour de France stage win of his career last Thursday.
