Young guns deliver for James gang

Brian McEvoy is sitting quietly in the corner of an empty James Stephens dressing room at the end of a game that he will remember forever. His team-mates are still out on the pitch, soaking up the sensation that comes with being All-Ireland champions. McEvoy takes his shirt off to reveal an upper body covered in bruises. He winces slightly as he touches his shoulder. But he is smiling.

“This is unreal, I’ve won two All-Irelands with Kilkenny and Leinsters as well, but if I had to I’d swap them all for this one. You go to school with these lads, play on the same teams as them your whole life. That’s what’s so special.”
