Win was a long time coming, says relieved Crozier

TEN months ago, a sizeable portion of Derry’s supporters were calling for Paddy Crozier’s head but yesterday he captured the entire county’s heart by securing their sixth league title and first since 2000.

Last June, his tenure as coach looked in serious jeopardy after defeat to Monaghan in the Ulster championship.

After this four point triumph, it must seem more like 10 years since those doom and gloom days.
