Burke: 'The stuff of dreams but it hasn’t really sunk in yet'

A BIT OF LUCK: Éanna Burke and Conor Cooney of St Thomas' after their side's victory in the AIB GAA Hurling All-Ireland Senior Club Championship Final match between O’Loughlin Gaels of Kilkenny and St Thomas’ of Galway at Croke Park in Dublin.
