I think we deserve it!”

“Sunday the 18th of September will go down as one of best days of my life.
It ranks alongside, the day of my marriage and the day my eldest son was born as one of the landmarks in my life on the “journey from the cradle to the grave”.
To win the Sam Maguire cup is absolutely brilliant, but to win and beat the Kingdom of Kerry in the final, and to win with the last kick of the game is special.”
