‘This team will win All-Irelands’

LIAM SHEEDY’S body language told it all.

He was like somebody who’d had a good cry before he faced the media about 20 minutes after the final whistle sounded at Croke Park yesterday and his dream of All-Ireland glory had been shattered.

“I’m hurting. Proud, but hurting,’’ he said mournfully, yet entirely positive, both in relation to key issues in the game and his hopes for the future. “This team WILL win All-Irelands,’’ he asserted.
