First Sars session since final loss was 'worst of the year' says manager Johnny Crowley

Back to the grind as beaten county finalists was as forceful a reality as the gale they had unsuccessfully played into in the second half of the 1-23 to 0-17 final loss six days earlier

Sarsfields' Manager Johnny Crowley says his players are still hurt after the final loss to Imokilly.

Sars’ first field session post-county final defeat came six days after the Imokilly loss. It was, without question, their worst session of the year.

They had socialised and lamented in each other’s company the Sunday night of their failed back-to-back bid. They had socialised and lamented again on the Monday.
