1992 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship
Ulster champions Donegal then defeated Dublin in the All-Ireland final by 0-18 to 0-14, thus claiming their first All-Ireland senior title.


1992 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final
The 1992 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final was the deciding match of the 1992 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship, an inter-county Gaelic football tournament for the top teams in Ireland. The 105th All-Ireland SFC final, the event was held at Croke Park on 20 September 1992, contested by Dublin and Donegal.


1992 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final
Donegal won the match by 0–18 to 0–14, with man of the match Manus Boyle scoring nine points (including one off the crossbar) and James McHugh beating Dublin goalkeeper John O'Leary early in the game, only for his strike on goal to also hit the crossbar in front of Hill 16. Dublin's Charlie Redmond also missed a penalty in an eventful game.

Dublin entered the game as heavy favourites to take the Sam Maguire Cup over the River Liffey. Instead, Donegal seized it from their grasp and took the cup with them to the north-west. The surprise outcome was hailed as one of the most unbelievable shocks seen in championship football at the time. Wild scenes were reported throughout the country for many months afterwards.


1992 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final
The match is regarded nationally as one of the greatest All-Ireland SFC finals in history. It was the second of what was to be four consecutive All-Ireland SFCs won by Ulster counties in the 1990s, through 1991 winners Down had thrice won the competition during the 1960s.

The broadcast of the game, live on Network Two by RTÉ Sport, featured match commentary provided by Ger Canning and Meath footballer Colm O'Rourke.

As an Ulster-based team, Donegal started their campaign in the Ulster Senior Football Championship. They defeated Cavan in the quarter-final at Breffni Park. They defeated Fermanagh in the semi-final at Healy Park and Derry in the final at St Tiernach's Park. Thus Donegal qualified for the All-Ireland semi-final, in which they defeated Mayo at Croke Park.

As a Leinster-based team, Dublin started their campaign in the Leinster Senior Football Championship. They beat Offaly in a preliminary round match, held at O'Connor Park. They beat Wexford in a quarter-final at O'Moore Park. They beat Louth in the semi-final and Kildare in the final, both games held at Croke Park. Thus Dublin qualified for the All-Ireland semi-final, in which they beat surprise package Clare at Croke Park.


1992 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final, Match, Background
Dublin were regarded as heavy favourites to win what would have been their 22nd All-Ireland SFC title and their first since 1983. They were appearing at this stage for the first time since 1985. This was the eighteenth occasion on which they had encountered an Ulster team in the championship; they had never been defeated during the previous seventeen. Donegal were regarded as "rank outsiders". They were the 24th team to appear at this stage.


1992 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final, Match, Background
The Donegal team had many players who had won the 1982 and 1987 All-Ireland Under-21 Football Championships: Paul Carr, Matt Gallagher, Martin McHugh, Joyce McMullan, Sylvester Maguire, Anthony Molloy, Charlie Mulgrew and Donal Reid from the former and Manus Boyle, John Cunningham, John Joe Doherty, Barry McGowan and Tommy Ryan from the latter.

The search for tickets was the dominant feature of the match build-up in Donegal. Jim McGuinness, a player on Donegal's panel, later wrote in The Irish Times that the team derived inspiration from boxer Michael Carruth's gold medal fight in the men's welterweight event at the 1992 Summer Olympics, which they all listened to on the radio before a training session one week before the game. Ahead of the game, the Donegal panel spent a night at Shelbourne Park, where matchboxes and lighters were distributed with the words "Dublin All-Ireland winners '92".

On the morning of the game, the panel attended Mass in Lucan (said by Bishop of Raphoe Séamus Hegarty, who had opted to forgo a planned trip to Rome that coincided with the day). Brian McEniff was Donegal manager that day; his backroom team included Michael Lafferty, Seamus Bonner and Naul McCole, trainer Anthony Harkin, team doctor Austin O'Kennedy, "man in the stand" Pauric McShea, and "man in Dublin" Sean Ferriter.

Tommy Sugrue from Kerry was named as 1992 All-Ireland SFC final referee.

The minor match took place as the traditional curtain raiser. There was a slight breeze favouring the team playing from right to left, with the sun directed at the eyes of the team defending from the left (which was Armagh in the second half). The minor match went down to the final whistle and concluded with seven minutes of injury time.

Dublin were unchanged from their All-Ireland semi-final. Forward Charlie Redmond was playing in his 25th championship match, while goalkeeper John O'Leary was playing in his 50th championship match.


1992 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final, Match, Background
Donegal were forced to make two late changes to the starting line-up that defeated Mayo in their All-Ireland semi-final. Particularly late was the addition of John Joe Doherty. Martin Shovlin and Tommy Ryan dropped to the bench. Manus Boyle and Doherty, who had not started the semi-final, came in from the start. Boyle had featured as a substitute against Mayo; Doherty had not. Neither Shovlin nor Ryan played in the final. Barry McGowan played at right-corner-back, while Doherty played at left-half-back in the absence of Shovlin.


1992 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final, Match, Background
This was Doherty's 10th championship match. Donegal goalkeeper Gary Walsh was playing in his 20th championship match.

Shortly before throw-in, McEniff was informed that the brother of one of his players, Joyce McMullan, had died from cancer. He chose not to inform McMullan or anyone else on the team until after the match. McEniff later described it as follows: "Everything had gone so smoothly but when I heard that I was knocked for six. Luckily, the lads were outside watching a bit of the minor match. I stamped up and down before deciding that Gerard would have wanted Joyce to play. When the team came back, they could see something was wrong with me, but I managed to hold it together". It later emerged that there had been a miscommunication, and that McMullan's brother had not died. He did so a year later.


1992 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final, Match, Background
Tony Boyle's left knee was heavily strapped, a fact which was much remarked upon before the game; this resulted from an injury he had sustained in the Ulster final. Martin Gavigan and Anthony Molloy also started the game with a leg each strapped.


1992 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final, Match, Background
Finbar Wright sang the national anthem before the game got underway. As Sugrue threw the ball in to commence play, RTÉ co-commentator Colm O'Rourke described it as "absolute perfect conditions for a game… the wind has died and the sun has gone in".


1992 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final, Match, First half
Donegal played into the Hill 16 end (right to left) in the first half. Molloy chose this in an effort to prevent Dublin from dominating the early part of the game.


1992 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final, Match, First half
The ball fell to Donegal team captain Anthony Molloy from the throw-in; he hit it forward, with Tony Boyle gathering but Boyle being wrestled to the ground by Dublin's Gerry Hargan, who conceded a free to Donegal. Martin McHugh stepped up to take; he sent the ball to the right and wide. Paul Clarke, receiving the ball from Eamon Heery, sent it spinning into the air while attempting to score from distance; Molloy tussled with Vinny Murphy in the effort to retrieve and Sugrue blew his whistle for a free to Dublin. O'Rourke said: "I think Anthony Molloy was very hard done by there. He was pushed out of the way by Vinny Murphy's momentum". Charlie Redmond scored to send Dublin into the lead after two and a half minutes.


1992 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final, Match, First half
Boyle went through the Dublin defence but missed an easy point, to give Donegal their second wide of the game. Mick Galvin then scored Dublin's second point of the game. His teammate Keith Barr collected the ball from Donegal goalkeeper Gary Walsh's kick-out but Barr hopped the ball twice, conceding the free to Donegal with five and a half minutes gone. McHugh took a short free which went straight to Clarke who cleared.


1992 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final, Match, First half
Declan Bonner received the ball from Martin Gavigan, only for Jack Sheedy to barge in and push him in the back; Bonner was sent tumbling to the ground and referee Sugrue had words with Sheedy. Bonner delivered the free; Joyce McMullan scrambled amid the Dublin defence James McHugh sent the ball crashing off the crossbar. His brother Martin fired the rebound over the bar to give Donegal their first point of the game after seven a half minutes. O'Rourke commented: "Once the ball comes in high, the Dublin back line are not that great in the air".


1992 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final, Match, First half
Boyle conceded a free after fouling Heery on his way out. Barr sent the ball forward. The ball broke to Dessie Farrell; it went wide. But referee Sugrue blew his whistle and awarded a penalty to Dublin after eight minutes for, as RTÉ television commentator Ger Canning said, "some pushing on Farrell". O'Rourke though, on viewing the replay of Noel Hegarty patting at Farrell before Farrell threw himself sideways through the air, responded: "Ah now, it was a harmless enough penalty". Canning then said: "I have to say, looking at that again, there didn't seem to be any push. That looked a very harsh decision". Charlie Redmond stepped up to take the penalty for Dublin. He sent it skyward, to Walsh's left and wide. Canning described it as "poetic justice" that a foul given for "a fairly innocuous challenge" had come to nothing.


1992 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final, Match, First half
Galvin touched the ball on the ground, conceding the free to Donegal. However, Dublin retrieved possession and Vinny Murphy scored Dublin's third point of the game. Goalkeeper Gary Walsh struck the ball outfield; it reached Manus Boyle but (as Canning called it, "still struggling to make an impact") all he could do was give Donegal their third wide with eleven minutes gone. Dessie Farrell pulled Barry McGowan to the ground, conceding a sloppy free to Donegal.


1992 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final, Match, First half
McGowan sent the free to Donal Reid, who gave it to Molloy just to his right; Molloy kicked it to Manus Boyle who passed to James McHugh and McHugh sent the ball over the bar for Donegal's second point. Canning mentioned that "Dublin are prone to lose concentration from time to time", as Redmond "in full flight" sent another ball skywards and wide. Redmond, again in an advanced position, lost the ball to Noel Hegarty. Redmond then showed his indiscipline by injuring Hegarty "in the face" (Canning) "with a heavy tackle" (O'Rourke).


1992 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final, Match, First half
It was Donegal's ninth free kick, with a quarter of an hour gone. However, Dublin regained possession and Sheedy scored Dublin's fourth point of the game. O'Rourke noticed that Vinny Murphy had fouled in hand-passing the ball to Sheedy, so the point should not have stood. Around midway through the first half, Martin McHugh was pushed in the back; from the resulting free (which McHugh quickly took), Brian Murray sent the ball wide with his left foot. But Dublin goalkeeper John O'Leary kicked the ball straight to Brian Murray, who sent James McHugh through; Dublin's D. Foran fouled McHugh.


1992 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final, Match, First half
Declan Bonner sent over the resulting free, leaving the score at Dublin 0–4 Donegal 0–3. Dublin attacked again but Gavigan booted the ball up the field, Bonner collected and passed to Molloy, who sent it flying onwards to an unmarked Tony Boyle (O'Rourke: "Gerry Hargan has lost Tony Boyle completely"); Boyle passed it across the Dublin goal to Manus Boyle, who struck the crossbar with the goal gaping, though the ball went over for a point, levelling the match. Canning reminded viewers: "Dublin, as we said earlier, are inclined to lose concentration from time to time and that was one instance". Sheedy, with his second point of the game, instantly restored Dublin's one-point lead, despite the best efforts of Martin McHugh.


1992 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final, Match, First half
O'Rourke commented: "A lot of high quality football in this game so far". Then Vinny Murphy handed the ball to Donegal's Matt Gallagher, who passed along the sideline to Bonner, who passed to Molloy, who ran inside and released Martin McHugh, who ran through the Dublin defence, saw off four Dublin players, sent the ball over the bar for his second point of the game and brought his team level again. Canning said: "The game is now turning out to be all we had hoped it might be".


1992 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final, Match, First half
Almost instantly, while the replay of Martin McHugh was still being shown to television viewers, Donegal attacked again; Bonner shot high from distance and over the bar for his second point, giving Donegal the lead for the first time in the match. Donegal regained possession from O'Leary's kick-out but Murray sent the ball wide again, the fifth Donegal wide of the game and Murray's second. O'Leary kicked the ball outfield once more but Donegal won possession and a free in the middle of the pitch. Martin McHugh sent the ball towards Manus Boyle; Sheedy hauled Boyle to the ground.


1992 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final, Match, First half
Boyle sent the ball over the bar for his second point of the game, giving Donegal a two-point lead (0–7 to 0–5). Again from O'Leary's kick-out, Dublin lost possession (by conceding a sideline free), allowing Manus Boyle's persistence to make a point for Tony Boyle, giving Donegal a three-point lead with ten minutes to go until half-time. O'Rourke commented: "Donegal are playing the game at a fantastic pace. They're getting everything back into play very quickly, frees and sidelines". Farrell received a long ball from Heery and hit it directly over the bar, reducing Donegal's lead to two again.


1992 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final, Match, First half
Keith Barr's name was taken by the referee after a head-high shoulder challenge on Molloy. Martin McHugh kicked Donegal's eleventh wide, as his scapular broke through his jersey and flapped loosely in the breeze (erroneously referred to by O'Rourke as "his Miraculous Medal"). "Dublin having to battle now, being made to fight by a very tenacious Donegal side", said Canning. Vinny Murphy was forced by Matt Gallagher to attempt a point from distance; Walsh simply caught the ball. "The pace", said Canning in commentary, "is absolutely amazing so far for amateur players". "Absolutely breathtaking game at the moment", agreed O'Rourke.


1992 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final, Match, First half
Three and a half minutes away from half-time, Manus Boyle collected a free delivered by Brian Murray, turned to his right and sent it over the bar for his third point and, in doing so, restoring Donegal's three-point lead. Redmond sent a free over the bar to reduce the deficit to two once more with about a minute to go until half-time. But it fell to Martin McHugh to score the final point of the half, receiving the ball from brother James after Gary Walsh's kick-out and leaving the score at the interval at Donegal 0–10 to Dublin 0–7. Donegal and Anthony Molloy were in possession when Sugrue blew the half-time whistle.


1992 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final, Match, Second half
Dublin introduced Paul Bealin as a half-time substitute. With play recommencing, Keith Barr sent the ball forward from a free towards Vinny Murphy who knocked it wide. Mick Galvin scored the opening point of the second half and his second of the match, reducing Donegal's lead to two once again. Dublin's Paul Curran fouled Joyce McMullan. Manus Boyle sent the resulting free over the bar, restoring Donegal's three-point lead. Barr sent the ball towards Murphy from a free again but Gary Walsh gained possession prompting Farrell and Murphy to gang up on and foul the Donegal goalkeeper.


1992 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final, Match, Second half
James McHugh went on a mazy run through the Dublin defence in a move that also involved Bonner receiving and then returning to McMullan; McHugh sent the ball wide. Farrell advanced along the sideline and attempted a point for Dublin; Walsh, however, plucked the dropping ball as it flew towards the crossbar. Murphy had the next attempt for Dublin; this went wide.


1992 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final, Match, Second half
From Walsh's kick-out the Dublin substitute Bealin struck the ball but it went to the left and wide. This time from Walsh's kick-out the ball broke to Donegal's McMullan, who sent Brian Murray through; Murray, with Paul Clarke tugging on him, passed to Manus Boyle but Dublin fouled Boyle. Murray's run had left him hobbling as the camera moved off him and focused on referee Sugrue and Manus Boyle, until Boyle alerted Sugrue to what was going on behind him.


1992 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final, Match, Second half
Murray was then seen lying on his back in some discomfort with his left (unstrapped) leg in the air, as the Donegal medical team arrived to tend to him. Barry Cunningham was then seen on the sideline warming up. Meanwhile, as Murray lay stricken upon the ground, a Dublin player (Paul Curran) took the opportunity to move the ball to a more advantageous position; cheers from the Donegal supporters alerted Sugrue to this indiscretion and he restored the ball to its appropriate position. Murray got to his feet then fell again, holding his left (unstrapped) calf muscle.


1992 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final, Match, Second half
He got to his feet a second time and proceeded to limp off the pitch. Cunningham entered the field of play in Murray's place. Manus Boyle sent the free over the bar, his fifth point, to give a Donegal a four-point lead for the first time in the match (Donegal 0–12 to Dublin 0–8). From O'Leary's kick-out the ball fell to Donegal's Martin Gavigan; Gavigan passed to Martin McHugh, who sent Cunningham through only for Paul Curran to take him down as he approached the Dublin goal. Manus Boyle sent the free over to score his sixth point and open up a five-point lead for Donegal (0–13 to 0–8).


1992 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final, Match, Second half
Vinny Murphy fouled Cunningham close to the Donegal goal. Walsh resorted to donning a white cap with the logo of a German clothing manufacturer on it, as the sun began to affect his vision. Martin McHugh blocked an attempted pass by Keith Barr. The ball fell to Curran, who ran forward, but Noel Hegarty intercepted Curran's attempted pass and raced clear. Dublin's Niall Guiden scored the next point, reducing the deficit to four points and ensuring that all six of his team's forwards would score in the game.


1992 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final, Match, Second half
Receiving the ball from Declan Bonner, Manus Boyle sent it off target for his team's second wide of the half. A high challenge by Dessie Farrell on Donegal captain Anthony Molloy was penalised. From this, Dublin gave away another free nearer their goal; Declan Bonner stepped up to send the ball over the bar, his third point of the game and his second from a free, leaving the score at Donegal 0–14 Dublin 0–9 midway through the second half.


1992 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final, Match, Second half
As Noel Hegarty charged through and sent a pass outside to Manus Boyle, Canning remarked that Dublin were "very disappointing so far… the Dubs simply haven't been able to perform because of the tenacity of this Donegal challenge"; Mick Deegan knocked the ball out and conceded a '45 to Donegal. Martin McHugh sent the ball in but nothing came of it for Donegal. Dublin broke away down the field but Sheedy ultimately fired wide. Bealin sent Walsh's kick-out in the general direction of Charlie Redmond but Redmond conceded possession back to Donegal.


1992 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final, Match, Second half
Dublin's next attack broke down when Donegal forward Manus Boyle blocked down defender Deegan's pass deep in Donegal territory in front of Hill 16; Gavigan gathered the ball, only for Sheedy to pull him by his jersey to the ground and concede a foul. Bealin launched the ball in once more; Vinny Murphy charged through but Matt Gallagher blocked his effort, with Murphy retrieving the ball and passing to Redmond in a frantic passage of play, Redmond ultimately losing the ball and his temper and flattening Barry McGowan.


1992 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final, Match, Second half
Still incensed, Redmond grabbed the ball from Barr as he approached to take a 50-metre free; Redmond's delivery dropped straight into Cunningham's hands. Redmond, through again, lost the ball to a challenge from Walsh; Vinny Murphy collected and, as two Donegal defenders leaped towards him, struck Dublin's seventh wide from close range.


1992 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final, Match, Second half
"Dublin struggling very, very badly at the moment… Donegal will probably win this match if they can avoid giving away a goal at this stage", said O'Rourke. An object was lobbed from Hill 16 in the direction of Donegal goalkeeper Walsh. A pile-up in the midfield led Sugrue to award the free to Donegal with twelve minutes remaining; Gavigan kicked it towards Tony Boyle, who lost possession in a challenge from Paul Clarke, but Manus Boyle retrieved the ball, saw off the attention of Mick Deegan and scored his seventh point of the game (Donegal 0–15 to Dublin 0–9).


1992 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final, Match, Second half
Canning hailed the point as follows: "Is that the kind of point that will now ensure Donegal's first All-Ireland final success? Is the cup on its way up to the north-west for the very first time?" Clarke reduced the deficit by sending a '45 between the Donegal posts with just under ten minutes of the game remaining. Murphy scored the next point with just over eight minutes left after Sheedy passed to Tommy Carr, the Dublin captain, in an advanced position. Then Heery reduced Dublin's deficit to three. Mick Deegan fouled Tony Boyle after Cunningham sent him through.


1992 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final, Match, Second half
Manus Boyle dispatched the free to score his eighth point of the game (his fifth from a free) and leave the score at 0–16 to 0–12. As play continued, cheers from the Donegal supporters were audible; the Dublin supporters were silenced. Redmond tapped a free between the posts from close range inside the last five minutes to reduce the deficit again to three points. Gary Walsh launched the ball upfield, Cunningham collected and kicked left-footed forward towards Manus Boyle; Boyle left a Dublin player flat on his backside and tapped the all over the bar.


1992 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final, Match, Second half
Gary Walsh then denied Vinnie Murphy's attempted strike on goal, turning the ball around the post. Paul Clarke scored the resulting '45 for what would prove to be Dublin's last point of the game with two minutes remaining, leaving the score at 0–17 to 0–14.


1992 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final, Match, Second half
From Walsh's kick-out, Cunningham fetched the ball in the middle of the field, only to be knocked of balance by Paul Curran; Manus Boyle retrieved possession and sent Martin McHugh on a run up the sideline pursued by Keith Barr; the ball found Declan Bonner whose shot went askew and O'Leary made the catch, though Tony Boyle tumbled into him and knocked him over the end-line for a foul.


1992 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final, Match, Second half
O'Leary, however, sent the ball directly to McMullan, who passed to James McHugh, who passed to Bonner, who ran to his right, turned onto his left and sent the ball left-footed through the flailing arms of two Dublin defenders and between the posts, then clenched his fists in celebration. Dublin, four points down and needing a goal, won a free when Donal Reid tripped N. Guy Din; however, a quick pass to Sheedy and the Dublin forward had sent the ball wide from close range. Walsh's kick-out went to Cunningham, who passed to Bonner, who fell after being interfered with by a Dublin player as Sugrue was seen with his whistle to his lips. Martin McHugh wrestled with Sugrue in a bid for primacy over the match ball.


1992 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final, Post-match
Fans flooded the pitch — among them future Irish international soccer goalkeeper Shay Given and future Donegal players such as Paul Durcan.


1992 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final, Post-match
RTÉ co-commentator Colm O'Rourke said: "Donegal were much the better team… to win it so convincingly, because they probably were an even better team than the scoreline suggested".


1992 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final, Post-match
Donegal captain Anthony Molloy climbed the steps of the Hogan Stand to various congratulatory gestures from nearby supporters: handshakes, back claps and pats on the head of hair that he still had. After shaking the hand of the President of Ireland, he shook the hand of President of the Gaelic Athletic Association Peter Quinn, from Donegal's neighbouring county of Fermanagh. The Taoiseach then emerged from behind Quinn to shake Molloy's hand and briefly spoke with the Donegal captain. Then a woman, a man in clerical garb and the spouse of the President of Ireland all offered Molloy their hands.


1992 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final, Post-match
Quinn addressed his audience for just under a minute in the Irish language. He presented Molloy with the Sam Maguire Cup and the Donegal captain raised the trophy aloft. Molloy then set the cup down, rubbed his face and exchanged words with Quinn before moving towards the microphone. He spoke — also in the Irish language — to cheers from the crowd, which had by this time thronged the pitch. He then provided an English language translation, yelling: "We have done it!"


1992 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final, Post-match
The camera zoomed out to reveal Daniel O'Donnell, not far from Molloy and behind the President of Ireland, with his hand aloft and frantically waving with an enormous smile upon his face; a lady behind him bearing a Donegal flag leaned over and spoke to him and he kissed her. Molloy commenced his speech of thanks, first mentioning Michael Lafferty, Naul McCole, Seamus Bonner and Anthony Harkin, then singling out the team's trainer Anthony Harkin for "a special word of thanks". He then thanked the medical team, including physios and doctor.


1992 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final, Post-match
He thanked his wife, his family, the families of the other players, former players and supporters. He then singled out Martin Shovlin for special mention. Then he referred to team manager McEniff as "the greatest man in Ulster at the moment", drawing wild cheers from the audience. He offered commiserations to the losing Dublin team. He concluded with the exclamation "Sam is for the hills!". He walked off, wiped the left of his face and — pointed by an official towards the trophy — raised the Sam Maguire aloft again. His speech is still held in high regard within the sport nationally.


1992 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final, Post-match
As the players took turns to raise the Sam Maguire Cup, O'Rourke noted: "I see the Taoiseach keeping a very close eye on the Donegal team, obviously looking for prospective candidates for Donegal in the next election". 27 years later, Molloy stood for the Fianna Fáil political party in the Glenties Electoral Area at the 2019 Donegal County Council election and won a seat. Albert Reynolds was no longer Taoiseach though, or Leader of Fianna Fáil; indeed, he had died nearly five years previously.

The winning team boarded the train westwards, trundling through the midlands towards the wilderness of Sligo, intent on embarking from there by coach bound for Donegal Town. However, crowds gathered at train-stops in Kildare, Meath, Westmeath, Longford, Leitrim and Sligo to gawk in awe at the team that had put Dublin to the sword. 9,000 people were waiting in Sligo alone. It was many hours behind schedule when the team arrived in their home county.

This was the first time since 1971 that a team won their maiden All-Ireland Senior Football Championship. However, this surpassed even that, as Offaly — also unfancied — had appeared in the 1961 and 1969 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Finals.

Donegal's triumph over the citizens inspired many other counties with little success at that time, including Derry, Armagh and Tyrone, to believe they could achieve the All-Ireland — these three counties achieved their dream in the next eleven years. Donegal's march to the title was still regarded nationally as an "almost mystical expedition", all those years later, until the arrival of the yet more enigmatic and impressive Jim McGuinness, who surpassed even this achievement.

Donegal returned to the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final after a 20-year absence on 23 September 2012 beating Mayo and reached the final again in 2014 only to lose to Kerry.

Dublin laboured towards another final in 1994, only to lose again on the big day—this time to Down.

The sides have met in the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship since then. The first meeting was 10 years later in 2002 with Dublin requiring a replay to beat Donegal in the quarter-final. They met again in the 2011 semi-final, where Dublin narrowly beat Donegal in a controversial game. Donegal then defeated reigning All-Ireland champions Dublin in the 2014 semi-final in one of the biggest shocks the sport had ever witnessed.

In 2018, Martin Breheny listed 1992 as the seventh greatest All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final, placing it ahead of 1978, 1966 and the 1988 replay in his top ten finals and behind only 1998 in that decade.

1992 Aloha Bowl
The 1992 Aloha Bowl was played on December 25, 1992, at Aloha Stadium in Honolulu, Hawaii. Kansas earned its first bowl win in 31 years over an 8-4 BYU team led by reserve quarterback Tom Young, the younger brother of NFL hall-of-famer Steve Young. Young earned the start after starting quarterback Ryan Hancock went down with a season-ending injury in the regular season finale against Utah.


1992 Aloha Bowl, Background
Kansas won seven of their first eight games, even rising up to #13 in the polls before a matchup with #7 Nebraska. A 49-7 thrashing by the Cornhuskers sent them into a tailspin, as they lost to #13 Colorado and Missouri to close out their season. Despite this, the Jayhawks finished in 3rd place in the Big Eight Conference, their highest finish in the Big Eight since their 2nd-place finish in 1973. BYU started the season 1-3, with losses to San Diego State, UCLA and Hawaii. Wins over Utah State, Fresno State, and Wyoming got them back on the trail. After a loss to #10 Notre Dame, the Cougars rebounded with a win over #14 Penn State. Wins over New Mexico, Air Force and Utah closed out a season in which they finished in a three-way tie for the Western Athletic Conference championship with Hawaii and Fresno State.


1992 Aloha Bowl, Game summary
BYU went up 7-0 on the game's opening play when Hema Heimuli returned the opening kickoff for a touchdown. Kansas evened the score at 7-7 two plays later when Kansas receiver Matt Gay caught a pass that was ruled a lateral from quarterback Chip Hilleary and hit a wide-open Rodney Harris for a 74-yard touchdown pass. Replays showed that the first pass was in fact 2 yards forward, which would have made the play illegal with two forward passes.


1992 Aloha Bowl, Game summary
The Jayhawks took a 9-7 lead later in the first quarter when junior lineman Chris Maumalanga burst through the Cougars' offensive line to sack running back Jamal Willis in his own endzone for a safety.


1992 Aloha Bowl, Game summary
Willis later gained revenge with a 29-yard touchdown run with 10:16 left in the second quarter. Following his score, BYU led 14-9. On the ensuing kickoff, senior running back Maurice Douglas broke free for a 54-yard return that put the Jayhawks on the BYU 43. The return set up a 41-yard field goal from Dan Eichloff that capped the first-half scoring at 14-12.


1992 Aloha Bowl, Game summary
BYU scored on a 10-yard touchdown pass from Young to Otis Sterling and took a 20-12 lead into the fourth quarter, but Hilleary engineered a six-play, 75-yard drive - capped off by his one-yard run and successful two-point conversion - that tied the score at 20-20. After a Cougar punt, Kansas put together a seven-minute drive that ended in Dan Eichloff's game-winning 48-yard field goal. BYU did not fare well on its own field goal kicking, with David Lauder missing a pair of short field goals earlier in the half.


1992 Aloha Bowl, Aftermath
The Cougars made five more bowl games in the decade, with victories in two of those games. The Jayhawks went to just one more bowl game in the decade, in 1995.

1992 American League Championship Series
The 1992 American League Championship Series was played between the Toronto Blue Jays and the Oakland Athletics from October 7 to 14, 1992. The Blue Jays won the series four games to two to advance to the World Series. The series was a rematch of the 1989 ALCS, which Oakland won in five games.


1992 American League Championship Series
Blue Jays second baseman Roberto Alomar was named Most Valuable Player of the series. In six games, Alomar rapped 11 hits in 26 at bats for a .423 batting average, including a double and two home runs.


1992 American League Championship Series
The Blue Jays would go on to defeat the Atlanta Braves in the World Series in six games to win their first World Series championship in franchise history.


1992 American League Championship Series, Background
Oakland finished the 1992 season with a 96–66 record (.593), clinching their fourth American League West title in five years by six games over the Minnesota Twins. The Blue Jays also finished 1992 with a 96–66 mark, claiming their second straight American League East championship by four games over the Milwaukee Brewers.


1992 American League Championship Series, Background
The Athletics clinched the West division on September 28. Although they were not playing that day, the Twins' 9–4 loss to the Chicago White Sox at home eliminated Minnesota from contention and gave the A's the crown. The race for the East division went down to the final weekend of the season, with the Brewers leapfrogging the Baltimore Orioles for second place in mid-September. However, Toronto pulled out a 3–1 defeat of the Detroit Tigers on October 3 to secure the division title.


1992 American League Championship Series, Game summaries, Game 1
The first game of the series had Oakland's Dave Stewart face off against Toronto's Jack Morris. The A's put up a three-spot against Morris in the second inning, as Mark McGwire and Terry Steinbach hit back-to-back home runs. Stewart held the Jays scoreless until the fifth, when catcher Pat Borders homered to put Toronto on the board. Dave Winfield added another shot for Toronto in the sixth, and in the eighth a base hit by John Olerud scored Winfield to tie the game.


1992 American League Championship Series, Game summaries, Game 1
However, Oakland took the lead right back in the top of the ninth, when Harold Baines led off the inning with a home run. A's closer Dennis Eckersley then shut down the Jays in the bottom half of the inning to preserve a 4–3 victory and give the Athletics a 1–0 lead in the series.


1992 American League Championship Series, Game summaries, Game 2
Game 2 saw Oakland's Mike Moore face the Jays' David Cone. The game was initially a pitchers' duel, as Moore and Cone put up zeroes for the first four innings. In the bottom of the fifth, however, Toronto's Kelly Gruber hit a two-run home run off Moore to give the Jays the lead. In the seventh, Gruber doubled, took third on a grounder, and came home on a Manuel Lee sacrifice fly to extend the Toronto lead to three. The A's avoided a shutout in the top of the ninth, when Rubén Sierra tripled and scored on a single by Baines, but that was all they could muster against Toronto closer Tom Henke. The Jays took the second game and tied the series at a game apiece.


1992 American League Championship Series, Game summaries, Game 3
Saturday, October 10, 1992, at Oakland–Alameda County Coliseum in Oakland, California


1992 American League Championship Series, Game summaries, Game 3
The series shifted to Oakland for Game 3, as Juan Guzmán took the hill for the Jays while Ron Darling toed the rubber for the A's. Toronto struck in the second, when Winfield reached on an error by Athletics' third baseman Carney Lansford, moved to third on a wild pitch by Darling, and scored on a single by Candy Maldonado. Roberto Alomar hit an opposite-field home run in the fourth to give the Jays a 2–0 lead, but in the bottom half of the inning the A's tied the game with RBI base hits by Baines and Steinbach.


1992 American League Championship Series, Game summaries, Game 3
However, the very next inning, Maldonado hit a homer, and after Oakland manager Tony La Russa gave Darling the hook in the seventh, the Jays added two unearned runs due to an error by Lance Blankenship and a triple by Lee, making it a 5–2 game. Although the A's cut Toronto's lead down to a run, the Jays tacked on single runs in the eighth and ninth. Henke retired the Athletics in order in the ninth, giving Toronto a 7–5 victory and a 2–1 edge in the series.


1992 American League Championship Series, Game summaries, Game 4
Sunday, October 11, 1992, at Oakland–Alameda County Coliseum in Oakland, California


1992 American League Championship Series, Game summaries, Game 4
For the fourth game, Toronto threw Morris against Oakland's Bob Welch. In the second inning, Olerud tagged Welch for an opposite-field homer to give the Jays the lead. However, the Athletics came back in a big way with a five-run third and tacked on another run in the sixth when Sierra doubled Rickey Henderson home, giving Oakland a seemingly secure 6–1 advantage. In the top of the eighth, however, La Russa pulled Welch, who had been cruising along, and went to his bullpen.


1992 American League Championship Series, Game summaries, Game 4
The Jays capitalized by scoring three runs off hits by Joe Carter, Olerud, and Maldonado, cutting the A's lead to 6–4. After the Jays had scored one run and had two men on base, La Russa sent in his closer, Dennis Eckersley, in hopes of preventing a huge rally by Toronto.


1992 American League Championship Series, Game summaries, Game 4
In the top of the ninth, La Russa sent Eckersley back in to shut down the Jays. Eckersley had given up two of Toronto's three runs in the previous inning, but La Russa decided to stay with his best closer. Devon White led off with a triple to left. Roberto Alomar hit a high line drive to right field that disappeared behind the wall for a game-tying two-run home run. This turned out to be a crucial point of the series, as it forced the game into extra innings and gave the Jays a chance to win.


1992 American League Championship Series, Game summaries, Game 4
Indeed, in the top of the 11th, Toronto came through. Derek Bell walked, moved to third on a Maldonado single, and came home on a sacrifice fly by Borders to give the Jays a 7–6 lead. Henke shut the door on the A's in the bottom of the inning, handing Toronto a 3–1 series lead.


1992 American League Championship Series, Game summaries, Game 5
Monday, October 12, 1992, at Oakland–Alameda County Coliseum in Oakland, California


1992 American League Championship Series, Game summaries, Game 5
Game 5 pitted Toronto's Cone against Oakland's Stewart. In the bottom of the first, Sierra cracked a two-run home run off Cone. In the third inning an error by Cone on a pickoff attempt proved costly, as Henderson advanced to 3rd and then scored on a single by Jerry Browne. Although Winfield broke the shutout with a homer off Stewart in the fourth, the unearned runs continued to hurt the Jays, as the A's added three runs in the fifth (only one of which was earned) for a 6–1 lead.


1992 American League Championship Series, Game summaries, Game 5
Toronto managed only one more run in the seventh when White singled Gruber home, and Stewart went the distance as the Athletics took a 6–2 victory and cut the Jays' advantage in the series to 3–2. This would be the last Major League Baseball playoff game to be played at the Oakland Coliseum with the old, classic open air view, prior to the installment of Mount Davis in 1996.


1992 American League Championship Series, Game summaries, Game 6
The series came back to Toronto for Game 6, with Guzmán going against Moore. In the bottom of the first, the Jays took a lead they would never relinquish, as White reached on an error by Henderson and scored on a homer by Carter, making it 2–0. In the third, Olerud lashed an RBI double and Maldonado followed with a three-run shot, extending the advantage to 6–0. McGwire put Oakland on the board in the sixth with a single that scored Sierra, but the A's could only manage another run against the Jays. In the ninth, Henke took the mound and induced a flyout from Sierra to end a 9–2 win, making Toronto the first non-U.S.-based team to win a pennant in Major League history.


1992 American League Championship Series, Broadcasting notes
CBS' coverage of the 1992 ALCS led to conflicts with the presidential debates that year. CBS did not cover one of the debates because Game 4 of the series went into extra innings. By the time it ended, the debate was almost over. Over the course of Game 2, Jim Kaat was stricken with a bad case of laryngitis. As a result, Johnny Bench had to come over from the CBS Radio booth and finish the game with Dick Stockton as a "relief analyst."


1992 American League Championship Series, Broadcasting notes
There was talk that if Kaat's laryngitis did not get better, Don Drysdale was going to replace Kaat on TV for Game 3 while Bench would continue to work on CBS Radio. Locally, the series was called on CJCL-AM in Toronto by Tom Cheek and Jerry Howarth and KSFO-AM in Oakland by Bill King, Lon Simmons, and Ray Fosse.


1992 American League Championship Series, Aftermath
Toronto signed Dave Stewart as a free agent from the Athletics during the offseason, he went 12–8 and was the American League Championship Series MVP the next year. Rickey Henderson was also traded from the A's to the Blue Jays at the 1993 trade deadline.


1992 American League Championship Series, Aftermath
The A's would go into a slump beginning in 1993, from which they would not recover until the Moneyball era, nearly a decade later.


1992 American League Championship Series, Aftermath
The 1992 ALCS began a streak of playoff success for Toronto-based teams over their San Francisco Bay Area counterparts. In 1994, the Toronto Maple Leafs defeated the San Jose Sharks 4–3 in the NHL Western Conference semifinals, then in 2019, the Toronto Raptors won the NBA championship over the Golden State Warriors 4–2.

1992 Andorran parliamentary election, Electoral system
As political parties were not legalised until 1993, all candidates ran as independents, although press and newspapers considered some candidates to be government endorsed (supporting Ribas government) or opponents.


1992 Andorran parliamentary election, Electoral system
Following the elections, the General Council elected the Prime Minister of Andorra and the General Syndic (speaker).


1992 Andorran parliamentary election, Results
Voter turnout was 82.4%. A total of 19 candidates were elected on the first round, with the remaining nine seats – one seat in Canillo, four in La Massana and four in Escaldes-Engordany – elected in the second round.


1992 Angolan general election
General elections were held in Angola on 29 and 30 September 1992 to elect a President and National Assembly, the first time free and multi-party elections had been held in the country. They followed the signing of the Bicesse Accord on 31 May 1991 in an attempt to end the 17-year-long civil war. Voter turnout was 91.3% for the parliamentary election and 91.2% for the presidential election.


1992 Angolan general election
The ruling People's Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA) won both elections; however eight opposition parties, in particular the National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (UNITA), rejected the results as rigged. An official observer wrote that there was little UN supervision, that 500,000 UNITA voters were disenfranchised and that there were 100 clandestine polling stations. UNITA sent negotiators to the capital, but at the same time prepared measures to resume the civil war. As a consequence, hostilities erupted in Luanda and immediately spread to other parts of the country. Several thousand to tens of thousands of UNITA members or supporters were killed nationwide by MPLA forces in a few days, in what is known as the Halloween Massacre.


1992 Angolan general election, Background
Angola was a colony of Portugal for more than 400 years from the 15th century. Demands for independence picked up momentum during the early 1950s, with  the principal protagonists including the MPLA, founded in 1956, the National Front for the Liberation of Angola (FNLA), which appeared in 1961, and the UNITA, founded in 1966. After many years of conflict that weakened all of the insurgent parties, Angola gained independence on 11 November 1975, after the Carnation Revolution in Portugal, which overthrew the Portuguese regime headed by Marcelo Caetano.


1992 Angolan general election, Background
A fight for dominance broke out immediately between the three nationalist movements. The events prompted a mass exodus of Portuguese citizens, creating up to 300,000 destitute Portuguese refugees—the retornados. The new Portuguese government attempted to mediate an understanding between the three competing movements, which they initially agreed to, but later failed and resulted in a devastating civil war which lasted several decades, claiming millions of lives and producing many refugees until ending in 2002.


1992 Angolan general election, Background
During the civil war, the MPLA gained control of the capital Luanda and much of the rest of the country. With the support of the United States, Zaire and South Africa intervened militarily in favour of the FNLA and UNITA, with the intention of taking Luanda before the declaration of independence. In response, Cuba intervened in favour of the MPLA, which became a flash point for the Cold War. With Cuban support, the MPLA held Luanda and declared independence on 11 November 1975, with Agostinho Neto becoming the first president, though the civil war continued.


1992 Angolan general election, Background
Jose Eduardo dos Santos won the 1980 and 1986 elections and became the first elected President of the country. The civil war continued with UNITA fighting against the MLPA, with both parties receiving international support. There was a ceasefire agreement during 1989, with the leader of UNITA, Jonas Savimbi, but it collapsed soon afterwards. As a part of its peace efforts, the MLPA dropped its theme of Marxism–Leninism and moved to socialism. During May 1991, Dos Sambos and Savimbi signed a multiparty democracy agreement in Lisbon.


1992 Angolan general election, Conduct
Voter registration was carried out between 20 May and 31 July and the National Electoral Council enrolled a total of 4,828,468 eligible voters. Campaigning was intense from two of the major parties; UNITA campaigned against the colonial influence of Portugal and proposed a native setup. The elections were monitored by 800 representatives of the UN Angola Verification Mission (UNAVEM).


1992 Angolan general election, Results
Voter turnout was around 75 per cent voter, with the UN airlifting people in remote areas to the polling stations. Early counting indicated that MPLA was leading in most constituencies; UNITA immediately rejected the result and pulled out its forces out of the combined troops of the army and started preparing for a war. The National Electoral Council delayed announcing the results beyond the eight-day limit prescribed and announced the results on 17 October 1992.


1992 Angolan general election, Results, National Assembly
A total of 12 parties won seats, with the ruling MPLA winning nearly 54% of the total votes and 129 of the 220 seats, whilst UNITA won 70 seats. The first multi-party parliament session was convened on 26 October 1992 with all members of UNITA abstaining.


1992 Angolan general election, Aftermath
The ruling MPLA won both elections, but the eight opposition parties, in particular UNITA, rejected the results as rigged. An official observer wrote that there was little UN supervision, that 500,000 UNITA voters were disenfranchised and that there were 100 clandestine polling stations.

As a consequence, hostilities erupted in Luanda and immediately spread to other parts of the country.

On Saturday (The Semifinals) of the ACC Baseball Tournament, the match-up between the four remaining teams is determined by previous opponents. If teams have played previously in the tournament, every attempt will be made to avoid a repeat match-up between teams, regardless of seed. If it is impossible to avoid a match-up that already occurred, then the determination is based on avoiding the most recent, current tournament match-up, regardless of seed. If no match-ups have occurred, the team left in the winners bracket will play the lowest seeded team from the losers bracket.

1992 Atlantic hurricane season
The 1992 Atlantic hurricane season was a significantly below average season, but it did feature Hurricane Andrew, the costliest Atlantic hurricane known at the time, surpassing Hugo of 1989 and later surpassed by Katrina of 2005. The season officially began on June 1, 1992, and lasted until November 30, 1992. The first storm, an unnamed subtropical storm, developed in the central Atlantic on April 21, over a month before the official start of hurricane season.

On August 16, Hurricane Andrew formed and would later strike the Bahamas, as well U.S. States of Florida and Louisiana, becoming the costliest Atlantic hurricane on record until the record was surpassed just over 13 years later. Andrew caused $27.3 billion (1992 USD) in damage, mostly in Florida, as well as 65 fatalities. In addition, Andrew was also the strongest hurricane of the season, reaching winds of 175 mph (282 km/h) while approaching Florida.

Later in the season, just under one month after Andrew struck land three times, Hurricanes Bonnie and Charley produced tropical storm-force winds in the Azores, and the former caused one fatality. Tropical Storm Danielle was one of few tropical cyclones known to make landfall on the Delmarva Peninsula. The storm caused minor damage and two fatalities in the Mid-Atlantic and New England regions of the United States. One other hurricane in the season—Frances—did not significantly affect land. The system developed in the central Atlantic, and tracked well away from land, and brought only light rainfall to Newfoundland.

In addition to the seven storms, there were three non-developing tropical depressions. The first depression of the season caused flooding in Cuba and Florida while the other two depressions did not affect any land. Collectively, the storms in the 1992 Atlantic hurricane season caused $27.3 billion in losses and 73 fatalities.
