Top work by Inpho’s Cathal Noonan at Croke Park yesterday afternoon.
Leaving the Croke Park pitch after defeat in the All-Ireland Final must be one of the most emotional and the toughest experiences in the life of a GAA player and the desolation felt by Donegal’s Karl Lacey was captured perfectly on camera by Cathal Noonan of Inpho yesterday.
With a glimmer of sunlight breaking through from the top corner of the Hogan Stand It’s reminiscent of a similar picture involving Mayo’s Rob Hennelly following defeat to Dublin in last year’s final.
If anything, the image above is even more striking when a filter is applied, Cathal himself tweeted this stunning version of the picture last night…
