Kitty Roarty, who will celebrate her 100th birthday soon, is excited about her grandson Finnbarr Roarty being part of the Donegal team in the All-Ireland final against Kerry. She has decorated her home with county colors and prepares for the match with candles and rosary beads. Her lifelong passion for GAA is heightened by Finnbarr’s involvement, which she finds magical. Kitty, alongside her late husband, was an avid supporter, and their connection with Jim McGuinness further deepened her interest in Donegal football.
Kitty, who will be 100 on Christmas Eve, has been a lifelong GAA fan, but having her grandson on the team has been 'magical'. Her love for Donegal football increased in the 1990s when her neighbour Jim McGuinness became involved in the side.
Kitty will watch the match from her family home in Glenties, which has been decorated in the county colours, and she will have the candles lit and rosary beads in her hand.
Having Finnbarr Roarty on the team is such an achievement to reach the final, and they have brought such a massive boost to everyone - it's just magical.
It's great she has seen Finnbarr on the team and it is just magical that she has lived to this age.
