You gave it your all at the same time.

time.Yeah, look, we, we definitely did.

Um, I thought we died with our boots on.

Uh, unfortunately, it wasn't our day.

Look, we knew it was a really strong Antrim team, and that if they got a sniff at it at all, we knew, you know, what they could do, and look, they showed that today.

But, like, that goes without saying, like, I'm so proud of the girls.

Like, do you know, we've had an incredible year to come up after winning the All-Ireland, Junior All-Ireland last year, and to be in Intermediate All-Ireland today was a super achievement.

Is that fair to say?

The atmosphere in the semi-final against Kerry that looked absolutely fantastic what about the support from the county itself it feels like aside from you guys rising up over the last couple of years there's been a groundswell of support the Leash fans really getting behind you

Yeah, 100%, like the last day in Tullamore was... was unreal.

I think I said it before, I haven't really experienced, you know, that on the field after a win, you know, having everyone come in on the field and we couldn't get over the crowd.

Like, it was just amazing and to even hear the crowd in the stand in the last few minutes to help drive you on, you know, that makes a difference to us and, you know, in the last few weeks or two weeks kind of leading up to the final then, like, you know, there's a nice little buzz, there's a few flags starting to appear over Leash and, you know, it's nice to see and I It's nice to see everyone getting behind us because we've put in a massive shift over the last three years and this group of guys really deserve all the support we can get because there's so much commitment and dedication that has to go into this.

I think it's been very clear the last few years that we have worked so hard and in some way we have got our rewards but hopefully there's just one more reward to get now on Sunday.

There must be something there that goes beyond the amount of players you have available or how clubs are doing or anything like that.

Yeah, look, I suppose, you know, for a bit, our Camogie County board, like anything else, We've asked in terms of resources and facilities, we've gotten, probably tried to struggle to get facilities during the year, but I have to say, for example, we've been training there all year and they have a gym there and we've been able to use those facilities.

But aside of that, the girls are there, we're there to win, we're there to play the game we love.

Like, you know, they've won the under 23B championship this year as well, so a, a young, a young, talented player in that squad as well, like.

Oh, yeah, 100%, and they actually beat us in a minor All-Ireland final last year in, in Nolan Park as well.

So yeah, we recognize the, the talent in that squad, and 100% it's going to be a huge battle and a huge challenge for us, but, you know, we will relish that challenge and, you know, these are the teams you want to be playing.

They've a lot of experience, um, but, uh, yeah, we'll, we'll put our first foot, our foot first out there and see how we go.

So obviously being, you know, knocked you down a niche to get to achieve something like that and be up senior then.

Yeah, it'd be unbelievable.

Look, you know, your aim is to play senior, and those are the teams you want to be up competing with and, you know, the, the intensity and, you know, the games.

I was in Temple Stadium there last week, like, you know, the games are unbelievable, and that's where you want to be, and yeah, definitely it would be unbelievable to do back-to-back.
