Davy did not fall to his knees on this occasion. Had no cause to. There was instead a brief clap of the hands. It felt almost forced. It was. His opening remarks of the post-match conversation - “we should have won that game” - said as much.

All the final whistle action was down to Davy’s left. Liam Cahill spilled emotion. He turned to the main stand, fists clenched, feet off the ground, and repeatedly swung through the air.
