Class of '13 showed what's in reach for Brigid's

Ian Kilbride says the 2013 All-Ireland senior club champions were "just a bunch of lads who went to school together and played a bit of football".

St. Brigid's fan Donie Himrock celebrates after the semi-final win over Castlehaven.

The Friday night before the 2013 All-Ireland senior club football final, St Brigid’s manager Kevin McStay brought the entire group into a huddle on their club pitch and asked them to visualise. To close their eyes and imagine who each of them wanted to be embracing at the final whistle when St Brigid’s were crowned the champions.

“He was saying, ‘We will win this game and we will be friends for life. We’ll meet up in 10 years’ time to celebrate this win’,” recalls midfielder Ian Kilbride. “Everything he said was geared towards seeing the win and he was right.”
