Tullaroan boss hails side's character after dramatic Croke Park win over Fr O'Neill's

“At the start of the year, our aim was to get back to the business end in Kilkenny."

Tullaroan manager Jimmy Coogan hailed his All-Ireland winners. After a slow start, the Kilkenny side turned the game in their favour to take victory after an epic All Ireland intermediate hurling club championship final. He said character had a lot to do with their one-point win.

“Character had an awful lot to do with it. We have been in an awful lot of finals in Kilkenny over the years and beaten in a lot of finals by a point or two. So, we made up our mind at half time we weren’t going to come out the wrong side of it today.
