‘A special feeling’ as Caltra celebrates

FOR those who snatched a few hours sleep after the celebrations in the Citywest Hotel by more than a thousand supporters, the feeling of jubilation for newly-crowned All-Ireland Club football champions Caltra yesterday was almost as good as for those who partied through the night.

"I have never woken up to experience such a feeling, it was the same for everybody. It was wonderful," said selector Gabriel Naughton. "It's all very hard to take in, but it was that way when we won our first county final a special feeling.

"Obviously, there's massive jubilation at what we achieved on Wednesday, but I believe it's only in the weeks and months ahead that it will sink in what we have done."
