Declan Browne: We’re so emotional, so proud of what Tipperary have done

The great thing is this wasn’t a fluke. It wasn’t a last-minute goal, a smash and grab

What we wouldn’t have done to be in Cork. I was in bits, to be honest, watching it at home, with the gang, the family. A Munster medal was always the dream. The longer we went without one, the more you felt it might never happen.

If we are being honest — and no disrespect is intended to Cork — once Kerry were out of the equation, we always felt there was a chance this weekend could be a landmark one. Those lads have played Cork all the way up. They’ve won and lost, never by much. I never saw us as huge underdogs and that’s how we played.
