Cummins reveals Tipperary farewell left him a teary ‘mess’
The championship appearance record holder kept himself in check on the Nowlan Park pitch but admits he was inconsolable in the dressing room.
In his Laochra Gael programme to be screened on TG4 next Tuesday, an emotional Cummins revealed: “I had a feeling from when I started training to running around the pitch in December to doing the weights at home through January, February and March, that it was going to be the last time I was going to be doing it. Then when the final whistle went, it dawned on me that ‘this was it’. I’m not big in the whole tears thing and that but I couldn’t stop when I got back to the dressing room. I was a fecking mess! I just had to let it out. There was no way I could bottle it up and do it at home. This was the time. Closure. When I walked out the dressing room, that was it.”
