Newcastle West manager Jimmy Lee commended his players for creating "their own bit of history" in reaching only the club’s second-ever Munster senior football final.

“We’re extremely proud of them young lads. They have given us everything. They go to the well all the time. The likes of the Iain Corbetts, the Mike McMahons, the older lads... a Munster final is a big thing for them. They have made some achievement. They’ve created their own bit of history in going back-to-back and now reaching a Munster final. I’m extremely proud of them.
