JOANNE CANTWELL poked fun at The Sunday Game panellists for coming into work in similar clothes.

Mayo legend Lee Keegan, Kerry icon Tomas O'Se, and Tyrone great Sean Cavanagh were on hand for RTE's coverage of Donegal vs Galway in the All-Ireland football semi-finals.

Cantwell was presenting, and took a moment to make light of the pundits turning up in similar get-ups.

All three were in sky blue dress shirts and grey blazers.

And while O'Se and Cavanagh donned virtually identical blazers, Keegan did wear a slightly darker coloured jacket.

Cantwell tweeted: "Three different provinces, the whole of the country in which to shop, and they all arrive in with the same jacket.

By Sunday evening, we finally had the pairing that will do battle in the All-Ireland senior football final - Armagh and Galway.

Kieran McGeeney's Orchard men stunned Kerry in Croke Park on Saturday afternoon, with the Tribesmen besting Donegal at GAAHQ on Sunday.

It was the culmination of an emotional week for Galway following the death of former manager John O'Mahony.

O'Mahony led the Connacht side to the Sam Maguire in 1998 and 2001 - with current boss Padraic Joyce a key cog in both sides.

And speaking after their win over the Tir Chonaill, Joyce dedicated it to O'Mahony, who was remembered with a touching tribute before throw-in.

Joyce said: “It was a tough, tough week, to be honest, but we had to try and separate the emotion of that and get prepared for the game, which I thought we did well.

“We were obviously heartbroken. I shed a tear because the man has meant so much to me personally and to the Galway players. Our WhatsApp group there from '98 and '01 was hopping. 

“Lads were just really, really heartbroken. You can't be heartbroken unless you love someone and we loved him as a man. 

“He was a great manager, a brilliant friend, a really good mentor as well to me over the last couple of years. I'll miss talking to him, I'll miss his phone calls, I'll miss his advice.”
