Evans: We’d been through a lot of pain and had the hunger

After the devastation of their loss 12 months ago, Tipperary boss John Evans was ecstatic at the final whistle last night in Austin Stack Park after securing the county’s first ever Munster U-21 football crown.

"We’ve one guy up there John Coghlan and this is his fourth time playing an U-21 final. You’ve to lose a few I suppose to win one. It came down to the closing stages of the second-half, and we were the team who’d been through a lot of pain and had the hunger. So we weren’t going to lie down.
