Shane O'Neill: ‘No questioning Na Piarsaigh now with three Munsters in five years’

Na Piarsaigh boss Shane O’Neill described yesterday’s victory in the Munster Club final as a “fantastic feeling,” one he could barely articulate.

“I’m kind of stuck for words at the moment. Again, we put in a second-half performance - you’d nearly want your second halves in the first-half but Ballygunner, being the club that they are, we actually spoke about it…

“They have serious tradition so we knew what they were going to bring to the party and even when we looked to have a bit of momentum after half-time, they came back again and got a couple of scores, trying to put a bit of doubt in our minds. But then our guys pushed on again. You can’t beat experience – over the last five years to win three Munster Clubs is just a phenomenal achievement.”
