Ó Mainnín delighted with 'character and spirit' at Mon fightback to win northside derby

“We put a big emphasis on it being a big game for the northside, and I know it is a northside derby, but we have 37, 38 northsiders on the sideline; Vincent's, Na Piarsaigh, Glen men, it just means so much to them. Just really proud of the players.”
