This morning Dungloe GAA club in Co Donegal received a Facebook message from a man called Arthur Hayes, who shared a very interesting discovery with them:
Yesterday I found washed up on a beach in North Uist, Scotland, a fully inflated, perfect condition ‘Dungloe Ladies GAA’ football.

Just in case you were wondering where North Uist is, it’s in the Hebrides – way up above Co Donegal.
