Wee Daniel fired the opening shot in the head to head as he boasted that the Sam Maguire trophy "has the bag packed" and will be heading back to Donegal.
The country music sensation will play a series of shows in Killarney's INEC next month and joked that he won't be able to show his face in Kerry if Donegal lose after all his bragging.

He said: "I have to go to the Kingdom at the end of August because we've shows in Killarney and I do not want to be introduced to Sam Maguire as a Kerry resident so it is all or nothing.
"I have to lay it down to Jim and the team for my sake if nobody else's they have to take Sam back to Donegal."

Daithi said: "They've a new song written now for Daniel when he comes down to Killarney to the INEC and it's called Jimmy's scratching a**es."
The light hearted segment ended with Daniel O'Donnell hoping that the All-Ireland final would live up to the game with both teams leaving it all on the pitch.
He said: "All joking aside. My hope is that both teams come out and leave everything on the pitch in Croke Park and whoever wins that the other team is proud of what they did.
"I think if they both come out and play the way they can play it will be the game of all games and that's what I hope for now seriously.
"Whatever team has to go home without Sam that they are happy that they did their best."

Stephen Bradley says he 'doesn't need to take chances' with Rovers' Byrne and McEneff due to squad depth
Uefa Conference League, third round (first leg): Ballkani v Shamrock Rovers, Pristina — Thursday, 7.30pm Irish time. Stephen Bradley insists he can afford to avoid risking Jack Byrne and Aaron McEneff for this Conference League hurdle due to the depth of his Shamrock Rovers squad. The Premier Division leaders are in Kosovo for their first leg against Ballkani with a place in a playoff duel with either Larne or Portuguese outfit Santa Clara on the line. Bradley has in his armoury the most experienced squad in Ireland when it comes to European competition. Four Champions League campaigns on the spin accrued two years of entrance into the group stage, last year's breaking new ground by reaching the knockout stages. While they've began from a different start point, the target destination remains the same. Being seeded bolsters their prospects too but the fact Rovers have left behind an array of stars underlines confidence levels internally. They've also learned lessons from casualties during last year's campaign. Matt Healy, Graham Burke, Trevor Clarke, Aaron McEneff and Jack Byrne haven't travelled — the latter pair spared next Thursday's second leg too. Rovers' Jack Byrne will miss the first leg clash with Ballkani. File picture: Ryan Byrne/Inpho 'If this was the last game of the season to win the league or the FAI Cup final, I'm sure they would all be available to play,' explained the Hoops manager. 'But we're in a position that we've got a really good squad and everybody's ready to play. 'I think that's really important. Last year, we were forced into that because of the injury situation. And as a result, we kept re-injuring the players. 'We don't need to take those chances. Sitting on a plane for three-and-a-half hours, followed by a coach journey, won't help niggles.' That outlook heightens the possibility of new signing Conor Malley making his European debut. 'We saw from his performance against Derry City on Sunday why we tried really hard to sign him for a long time', said Bradley, referencing the weekend win that stretches their lead at the summit to 10 points with 10 games left. 'He slots right into what we do. I think there's so much more to come from him when he understands exactly what we do. But he's here for a reason because we think he's a top player. You'll definitely see Conor over the next few months play a big part in what we do.' Bradley wasn't accepting a draw as a desirable outcome ahead of their Tallaght return next Thursday, only evidence that they can maintain standards set in recent years. 'Not having the Champions Path this year, we knew it was going to be difficult but our aim is to get into the league phase again.'

Dunne reflects on Henry handball and THAT Russia performance
Richard Dunne had plenty of standout moments throughout his footballing career. Whether it was captaining Manchester City or leading Ireland to the European Championships with his no-nonsense defending, Dunne reached heights that have been somewhat lacking for the Boys in Green since his retirement. However, one of the most disappointing nights of his career is one that Ireland fans remember all too well. A videograb of Thierry Henry's handball that led to France's goal against Ireland in the World Cup play-off second leg in 2009. Pic: Sky Sports In November 2009, Irish hearts were broken by the left hand of Thierry Henry. After Ireland forced France to extra-time on their own turf, a place in the 2010 FIFA World Cup seemed a real possibility against all odds. However, with the match looking like it could head to penalties, a moment that has lived in infamy ever since occurred. When a long ball into the Irish box was slightly overhit and heading out for a goal-kick, Thierry Henry slipped into a blind spot for the referee, blatantly controlled it with his hand and tapped it across for William Gallas to head home. Despite the disbelief from Ireland's players, the referee was none the wiser and the tie finished 2-1 to France on aggregate. Dunne was of course in the penalty box when the incident occurred and he has reflected that while anger and disappointment were the predominant feelings at the time, ultimately they just had to get on with it. Ireland were left in disbelief after the goal. Pic: Laurent ZABULON/Gamma-Rapho via Getty Images Speaking with bookmaker Betfree, he said: 'It was just disappointment. You know that a decision has gone against you so there is a bit of that (robbed feelings), but as professional players you deal with it and move on. 'Of course it keeps getting brought up, a bit like Diego Maradona's handball against England, but the players move on and in the heat of the moment you're annoyed and angry but you have to play every game the Saturday afterwards. 'It is tough to take but throughout the course of your career, some will go for you and some will go against you, it's just the way it is.' Although the France result felt like such a low point at the time, a couple of years afterwards, Ireland fans got to witness one of Dunne's highest rated performances on the international stage. In September 2011, Ireland visited Russia in a UEFA European Championship qualifier and never has a goalless draw been remembered like this one. Russia bombarded the Irish box with crosses and shots all game and were simply left stunned by how the ball never made it through to the back of the net. A major reason why it ended this way was Richard Dunne. Dunne's replacement shirt against Russia became iconic. Pic: David Maher / SPORTSFILE Dunne finished the match wearing an iconic blank jersey that had to have the number five drawn on it with marker after his original shirt was bloodied following one of his many challenges. He drew the 'Iron Curtain' across Ireland's goal and with the help of Shay Given, his defensive heroics earned an invaluable point that ultimately led Ireland to Euro 2012. When asked if he knew what an immense performance he was putting on at the time, Dunne remarked 'probably not' and added that while as a player you have a feeling if you're playing well, it was 'just a 0-0 draw in Russia' at the end of the day. He said: 'It was good and it's nice that it's something to be remembered by and I've obviously still got the scars from it. 'It's just of those things that follows you around I suppose.' Dunne's performance is remembered every year. Pic: INPHO/Donall Farmer One of the standout moments of the match was Dunne's unbelievable goal line clearance in the first half. Reflecting on it, he continued: 'It is funny, like every year it comes up and people show little clips of it. 'It's good to show my son and let him see it and stuff like that but sometimes it happens and you're just in the right place at the right time and it just happened on a couple of occasions that night. 'I think it's tough to really understand it. It's just one of those things that happened and you're really proud of it. 'It's just a nice memory to have.'
