As the only Cullyhanna person in the world not currently drunk I feel it is my duty to thank everyone here for their good wishes. The good will from all the clubs in the county (including Cross lol) has been incredible. Our larger, more successful neighbours were actually amazing and were on hand to offer what ever they could to help with advice on how to handle the big day. I met a lot of people at the game from other clubs and all were wearing a Cullyhanna headband. It may not seem like much but it really means a lot.
We had club members travel from England, America, Australia and one big guy and his son from Barcelona. It was great to see them all in the hotel beforehand and in the stadium. A very strange feeling looking around Croke Park and being surrounded by your club mates and friends.
The game itself will not be remembered for it's quality but we don't care, we have the boy with the lugs, although in this case just one lug. I thought the players and management did themselves proud with how they played and conducted themselves. No cynical shite just honest hard football.
To Stephen, Pearse and all involved, congratulations, you have restored the pride to a once very proud area, we will never forget these days. UTP.
