A goal made in the image of Donegal.
A goal fit for Croke Park.
Enda McCormick lit up headquarters on Sunday afternoon despite the men from the hills falling short of the All-Ireland minor final when Galway beat them 2-12 to 1-11.
The north west outfit ensured it was a nervy finish though with typical spirit and heart. McCormick made sure it was a spectacular finish with… well, with a spectacular finish.

In true, glorious Donegal fashion, the Ulster champions turned the ball over in their own defence and, within a matter of seconds, the Tribsemen were undone with an Atlantic tidal wave washing over them – at the heart of it, a frightening number 12.
Enda McCormick began his chase of the ball inside his own 45′ and, surging through the middle of the Galway defence, he linked with Peadar Mogan before pumping the afterburners again and seemingly stepping up another few gears.
The wing forward gets on the end of Mogan’s final pass and the opposition are sliced open like a scolding knife through melted butter and McCormick rattles the far top corner with a finish of pure power and precision. A finish of pure skill.
It wasn’t to be Donegal’s day but this goal won’t be forgotten about for a long time.
