"People of Galway, after seven and fifty years, the All Ireland title is back in Galway. It is a great honour for me, my friends, to accept this trophy on behalf of the entire team. Today is a great day to be a Galwegian. There are people over in Galway with joy in their hearts, but also we must remember (Galway) people in England, in America, all over the country and maybe they are crying at right now. I would like to thank the Limerick team for the wonderful game they gave us today. People of Galway, we love you!"
I don't speak Irish however as soon as he speaks the hair stand on the back of my neck may be its just because im a GAA man and know what it means to play in a sport so unique and win with friends and family and people you have went to school with and all for the love of kicking or pucking a ball around a ball round a pitch with no other incentives than winning!!!
