You know, you met the changes and met them at the right time.
9:45
Yeah, I think having that experience to come off the bench stands massively up here.
9:49
A lot of lads say size and they need big, strong lads, but I think experience is one of the main factors.
9:54
We brought on three or four lads there with experience and we brought on a young lad with legs too, so...

Adding them four on to a tired team in the last 15 minutes of a county final makes a difference to tracking runners and getting your hand on the ball.
10:08
And I think that's what just turned the game at the end.
10:10
Them subs just winning and breaking ball allowed us then to get on the ball and try to score.

Unbelievable.

You know, it all kind of started to change, but you guys held on and dug deep to kind of find that kind of resilience.
85:45
100%.
85:46
I think it's that grit and that resilience at the end.
85:49
Uh, we made some of our cha- changes early in the second half, while they brought on some of theirs a bit later.
85:55
So they had a bit more legs.
85:57
Our boys were a little bit more out on their feet.
85:59
They were kinda having lots of ball in our half of the field and, and creating lots of chances.
90:42
Yeah.
