Still had the energy left to take a few snaps.

The Monaghan supporters in Clones, on Sunday, partied merrily on the pitch following their side’s 0-11 to 0-10 Ulster Senior Football Championship win over Donegal.

As soon as the final whistle blew, and confirmed the Farney men as Ulster champions for the second time in three years, their fans swarmed onto the hallowed turf.

Monaghan’s best player on the day was their captain, Conor McManus.

He still had the gas left to make a great, humble speech, after lifting the cup – ‘It’s sweeter second time round!’ – and took snaps of triumphant, beaming supporters.

Photographer Glenn Murphy captured this super moment of McManus behind the lens as a Monaghan trainer [and Donegal native] Ryan Porter posed with fans and the Anglo Celt Cup.
