Diarmuid Connolly on that shot at glory: 'All I wanted to do was put the ball dead'

It was a moment that might have tormented him for years and, on reflection, Diarmuid Connolly has admitted he perhaps got it wrong by going for glory against Mayo.

Connolly surprised many by demanding the ball from Ciarán Kilkenny deep into injury-time of September’s drawn All-Ireland final and shooting for a score from a tricky sideline kick despite already being one ahead.

Kilkenny appeared to want to hold onto the ball, recycle possession and run the clock down to a famous win.
