Tony Considine: 'The greatest plan of all is winning the game'

'When you’re winning the game or losing the game, that’s when everything comes into play. The character of the players really stood up'

Victory for Kilmallock in this Limerick SHC final, and a victory for character, maybe?

That’s no aspersion on their opponents in the Gaelic Grounds yesterday. Patrickswell were in the hunt until the final minutes and will rue a couple of half-chances that could have turned the game their way, but to Kilmallock the spoils, with their manager crediting the players’ character at the final whistle.
