Never mind the earthquake in the Irish Sea last night, the earth moved in Donegal at the weekend and it was all down to a Colm McFadden goal.
MacCumhail Park in Ballyboffey hosted the 18,000 capacity sell-out meeting between the All-Ireland champions and Tyrone on Sunday and the loudest roar of the day occurred when McFadden grabbed the games' first goal on 32-minutes.
The noise was so loud that it was picked up on the seismometer in St Columba Secondary School, which is located close to the county grounds. The school has the equipment as part of a scheme in schools to track movements in the earth due to earthquakes and tremors.
So not only do Donegal have some of the best supporters, they also have the loudest.
