Who can only be described as an absolute hero, Donegal’s Davitt Walsh rightly received a hero’s welcome back onto the football field when he got a guard of honour by both his club-mates and opposition when his team Fanad United Football club took on Derry City in Letterkenny yesterday.

The 28-yr-old hero managed to rescue baby Rioghnach-Ann McGrotty from drowning along with 5 other members of her extended family in the Buncrana pier tragedy on March 20th.

In April, the hero said he is now looking forward to being part of the beautiful little baby’s life and her mother Louise.
