Ballyea captain Stan Lineen praises ‘calm teammates’

Ballyea captain Stan Lineen paid tribute to his teammates’ calmness after yesterday’s Munster Club SHC final win over Glen Rovers.

Standing on the Semple Stadium pitch after their comprehensive win, Lineen acknowledged the Glen had “a kick in them” but added Ballyea had not panicked all year, and weren’t going to do so yesterday.

“We knew we had to go at them early on - they are a club with a great tradition, you have to try and get on top of them early on.
