All-Ireland winning captain rounds off great weekend with big win
Anthony Molloy rounded off a great weekend by landing over €5000 in a Donegal GAA draw after watching his native county win the Ulster Championship.
If ever a man has earned a big cash prize for what he's done for his county, it's Molloy, who captained Donegal to their first ever All-Ireland title, back in 1992.
Molloy was in Clones at the weekend to watch Jim McGuinness' Donegal down Armagh by 2-23 to 0-28 after extra-time to land a 12th Anglo-Celt Cup and make it back to back Ulster titles in their manger's second coming.
The following evening Molloy won €5120 in the Official Donegal GAA 50/50 draw.
McGuinness has now managed Donegal to five of those 12 Ulster titles, equalling Brian McEniff, with Declan Bonner in charge for two Ulster wins.
Molloy - a current Donegal County Councillor - was captain for the 1990 and 1992 Anglo-Celt victories under McEniff.
A Donegal GAA social media message read: "Congratulations to the latest winner of our Donegal GAA 50/50, a man who is no stranger to winning the biggest prize with Donegal - Anthony Molloy."
