Tyrrell: A lot done, more to come

For those who wonder if Sunday’s All-Ireland final replay triumph is finally the end of an era for Kilkenny, the end of the greatest hurling team ever seen, Jackie Tyrrell has one message — forget about it.

Yesterday morning he woke up in the CityWest Hotel, the memory of the previous day’s events still fresh, and he couldn’t keep the smile from his face.

“It’s a brilliant feeling, you can’t get enough of it,” he said. “It’s all about that feeling when the final whistle goes, coming back last night and meeting the people of Kilkenny. A great night had by all, then going home today as All-Ireland champions again. It’s something you want to hold on to forever.”
