Cavan's players celebrate after capturing the county's first Ulster SFC title in 23 years
An exciting weekend of football and hurling championship lived up to its billing as some upsets along the way would set Twitter ablaze.
Heartwarming by Tipperary. Talk about honouring Michael Hogan and all involved in that tragic day 100 years ago. Well done David Power, masterstoke getting @colin_oriordan back, my man of the match. Casey and O’Brien huge at midfield. Sweeney and Quinlivan were outstanding. #gaa

Cavan injecting euphoria into Breffni life.
Stephen Cluxton laying a wreath as 14 Bloody Sunday torches blazed.
Tipp reanimating the spirit of Michael Hogan.
Wandered late to the folks grave tonight.
They'd have delighted in today.#gaa#SundayGame#B100dySunday

Superb job by the #GAA with tonight's #BloodySunday Commemoration. It was respectful, dignified and powerful in its sombre simplicity. #CrokePark #B100dySunday pic.twitter.com/OxaTLFIt44

It’s scary how much fitter, faster, stronger @DubGAAOfficial are compared to Meath. Swatting markers away, covering massive distances, tackling in packs, breezing past opponents.... not to mention skill levels. How can there be such a chasm?

Yesterday marked the 2 year anniversary of the death of the great Weeshie Fogarty.A man that epitomised everything that is good about our little corner of the world, his legacy will live on.

When gyms are deemed unnecessary/unhealthy and McDonald’s/KFC are places of essential needs, then you know that todays society is fucked ! #sorrymum

Leading out Offaly for the 2nd half of the u21 All Ireland in ‘89, being closely followed by an 18 year old Adrian Cahill. Today I walked beside his hearse on his final journey. Hugely sad day for his family and large circle of friends @BirrCLG & @Offaly_GAA

Mayo v Cavan - discuss?

Mental stat from Darragh Maloney. If Stephen Cluxton was a county he’d be 3rd in the list of honours of Leinster titles with 16.. If this doesn’t prove that the Leinster Championship doesn’t work I don’t know what will... #GAA

Dublin are fantastic and deserve their plaudits - no question!

Lets not focus on the "lack of quality" across the rest of Leinster rather, focus on development.
What can be done to develop all counties evenly for the benefit of our games? #GAA

The magic moment for Cavan. The All-Ireland semi-finalists are the same as they were one hundred years ago in 1920. When hope and history rhyme... #RTEgaa pic.twitter.com/XqtXt1uvuf

Tweet'In 90 seconds, 14 people lay dead and mortally wounded on the field and banks of Croke Park and on the streets outside. Tonight, 100 years on, we pause to remember them all: the 14 who went to a match, and never came home.'#B100dySunday pic.twitter.com/pjmQpt8EWc
