Christ lads I'm absolutely bouncing , these days are as good as you get . I woke up this morning and my stomach was in knots , i just felt very unsure about how the team would perform as we haven't really put back to back games together in ages but so glad that the players rammed the lack of faith right down my throat . 20 minutes or so in we seemed in a bit of trouble but the team didn't panic , even when the kick outs weren't going well , Duffy , Murnin and O Neill won a few long kick outs when the pressure was on which we didn't do in the Ulster championship . Even before the black card we were getting into the game and were causing them issues in front , and we started to pressure their kick out as well with Soupy missing one that was easier to score .
After the Penalty there was no looking back and although slightly anxious at time we were well in control . Our Big players O'Neill , Grugan (exceptional) Jarly Og Soupy Forker all stood up and in fact there was hardly anyone you could fault . I was exceptionally pleased For 'Bug' Sheridan scoring the goal as he gets a fair bit of stick on here and other places so just nice to see that and the joy when he scored knowing the game was over and he took it very well.
I'm going to soak this game in for the next couple of days if we avoid Dublin & Kerry we could have see something amazing , there not too many on the other side of the draw that would want us , Croke park will suit us so lets see what happens tomorrow.
Well done the Players , Management and the fans for the noise they brought today , lets flood Croker in 2 weeks .
Ard Mhacha Abu.
Days like today make it all worthwhile. We certainly brought the crowd, the colour & the atmosphere today.
