And the first quarter, by God, we had to sit through a little bit of a turgid

opening.

You'll get that, Bryn.

We got it in clear last week as well.

Like I said, you know, such a rivalry there between Kamele, Ina Kilnemona.

and then it took a long time for the game to actually flow, but then it did, like this, we got a great second half, but we did a lot, I don't know what, it was uncanny here today, the amount of wides to the left of the City in post, both teams, the Glynn, I thought the Glynn must have felt at half-time, we're down two points here, how are we down two points? I mean, Simon Kenneth-X went off the crossbar, probably should have been buried, and at least four or five, but then the Bears looked like the top, Ben Cunningham was having a huge influence in the game, Ethan Toomey thundered into the game and Brian Hayes looked dangerous although you would say Robert Downey probably won that battle overall but I thought Cunningham was kind of running the show and they weren't getting a handle on him But in fairness, overall, I would say now that they were the slightly better team.

They created probably five goal chances and a dream there for O'Leary with 2-2 from play in the county final.

Two very different goals, and not just the goals, Anthony, key times as well.

I know you have the Mannions and the Berks and all those lads who are going to talk them through it and walk them through it, but How difficult is that, you know, for a guy in his first season, having gone well in the quarterfinal, semifinal, to back it up again on the biggest day?

Yeah, it's hard.

By the time I got to play him one, I was kind of 25, you know, and I'd been through a few bad Munster final days and...

All of a sudden, we won a Munster and we were new men.

We were never thinking about Ireland.

We were just thinking about getting a Munster title.

11 Munster finals had been lost.

do you know like

Yeah.

I think we expect to see him out there.

But, uh, I'd say it could be tactical.

They won the toss, I think, and elected to play into it, so we could see him.

I see him warming up once or twice.

Um, they'll feel they have a right chance now.

But Galway turned it around last week, you know, when, when after a poor first half.

Yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Um, the Cusack we were in because the Hogan hadn't been developed, like, at that stage.

So the man was knocking on the door to tell us get back out, and I was doing a bit of ranting and raving.

And, uh, Lohan and, and Davy, and Seanie McMahon were doing it.

And Mike Mackett said a few words.

Tony Cunningham and Loughnane said nothing.

And then your mam's banging at the door, like, "Guys," says, "Come on." Says, "You have 35 minutes to win our second All-Ireland.

Yeah.

Well, it was a

bit of a freak thing, like Tommy Guilfoyle was the captain and Tommy caught his fingers in a lawnmower on the Friday, I think, and we were playing Watford in the championship.

And yeah, I know LLM would have asked John Russell first, who would have been probably the natural leader of that group, along with Tommy.

I think John said to him, give it to one of the young fellas.

He says, maybe give it to Daley.

He says, one of them, they're the future and they're ambitious.

And he's just down at the house asking me, would I be captain for Sunday? I was on about the pre-match nerves.

But was there ever a time when he turned a right-hand corner at something you would not have expected? It could be before a big game where you expect him to perform in this way and it actually was
