Michael Murphy put in a man of the match performance on Sunday as Donegal opened their Super 8’s campaign with a win over Meath.
The Glenswilly clubman put in a fine personal showing – as did Ryan McHugh – as Donegal overcame the Royal County on a 2-19 to 1-13 scoreline and the world of Twitter was loving it!
They should invent a new All Star Position. The Michael Murphy position.

Michael Murphy the best footballer in the country at the minute??
Such a big game player! Leads by example and controls everything.@RTEgaa @TheSundayGame— Niall Curran (@NiallCurran9) July 14, 2019
Once again the ability of Michael Murphy and Ryan McHugh to control the temperature of a Donegal game is evident. Always just know when to stick or twist.

It’s gotten to the stage where there’s no words left to describe how good Michael Murphy is. We may just sit back and count ourselves lucky we get to watch him at his peak 🐐

Fair play to Meath, they are definitely a team on the up. But when the going got tough, Donegal got going. Michael Murphy is a beast. Donegal a serious threat to Dublin this year. @SkySportsGAA #Super8s

Is their anything more guaranteed in life than Michael Murphy soloing down the left hand side, checking back and swinging over with his right? #Super8s #Donegal

Super game in Ballybofey…. needless to say the final result wasnt a true reflection of game…Kickouts was the key difference between the sides…Murphy and McBrearty and McHugh immense for Donegal when game in the melting pot

This Donegal Meath game showing how important kick outs are in today’s game. Patton’s kicks are lethal. Murphy and McHugh are still absolute different class #GAA
