To conclude their victory lap, the entire Limerick setup came together in front of Hill 16. They formed a huddle, every piece of the mosaic whole. The final person to join the circle was John Kiely.

The Limerick manager was caught conducting a post-match interview in the broadcasters' corner when the individuals began to merge. He took off in a full-blooded sprint to make it over in time. Soon after, he finally got his hands on Liam MacCarthy and raised it wildly. Long after every other member of the panel had climbed the steps and lifted it, Kiely gathered his daughters and claimed his moment. How he had earned it.
