Ferguson: 'this is the least that we deserve'

Bandon captain Tom Ferguson heaped praise on his side and the hard work undertaken by the west Cork club after yesterday’s thrilling Bank of Ireland Munster Junior Cup final victory.

Ferguson struggled to describe what this title success means to his team, who shocked defending champions Young Munster at Thomond Park.

“It’s unbelievable; I can hardly put it into words. There were 20 lads togged out today, but there has been 40 lads training and playing with us throughout the year. The effort that has been put in has been unbelievable. This is the least that we deserve, given the work that has been put in, not just this year, but over the last couple of years, by the coaches and everyone in the background.”
