Michael Fitzsimons, Stephen Cluxton, James McCarthy. Welcome to cloud nine. As the final whistle sounded, golden confetti came raining down and blue washed all over the field. Brian Fenton stood with clenched fists in front of the Davin end. Cormac Costello headed to the Hill and was greeted by a wall of commotion. McCarthy was somewhere around the middle, consoling and celebrating.
