“We lost the 2007 final to Fr. O’Neill’s in dramatic fashion and that took a while to recover from, but after losing the 2008 final as well, people began to question our ability to win a county. However, I never had doubts about these lads. They are a super bunch and I knew all week that we were ready for this one. We looked a bit nervous early on but once we got going, there was never any doubt in my mind about the outcome.
