‘This can never be taken away’

IN the midst of Drom-Broadford masses that engulfed the Gaelic Grounds pitch, Ned English stood smiling.

In his freshman season guiding their football fortunes, English attempted to convey the significance of this Munster title for the Limerick club.

“I’m over the moon, it’s just a fantastic occasion. It’s great for Drom-Broadford — a tiny, tiny community. We’re up against a side who won the last five U21s in their county, so they’re a very strong outfit. We wouldn’t have that strength, our panel is very tight and short on resources. But it’s great for Drom-Broadford and great for Limerick.”
