"Sweet", is how Jimmy Lee described the historic three-in-a-row achieved by his Newcastle West side. The manager has overseen each of those wins, all without losing a single game. It is 21 wins in a row for the Magpies, who have now won eight Fr. Casey Cups.

Jimmy was flanked by brother Joe, coach while another brother, Billy was on co-commentary duty at the final. The Lee family have served the club so well down the years and Jimmy was the most thrilled man in the Gaelic Grounds when John O'Halloran called a halt after 67 minutes of frantic action.
