Corks Sports Sunday 01/11 Diarmuid O'Mathunas manager Pat Lucey post match v Whitechurch

Yeah, outstanding in fairness.

A lot of sore bodies there and tired bodies, but in fairness, we really rallied there in extra time.

There's a true saying, goals win games, and we got a few when we really wanted them, which was great.

Going back to the normal time, you were four points up at half-time, it seemed to be comfortable enough.

Yeah, we were.

We had set them at half-time just to keep doing what we were doing.

We were doing fine.

And I think we actually went up six, I'd say, at one stage.

And before we knew it, I think we were down a goal.

So, look, they're a very good side.

We knew that coming up here, but we said if we bring the hunger, and I think the hunger got us over the line there today, definitely.

Second half, then, of normal time, then, really, the dominance did come from Whitechurch, but you just tipped away and got the vital goal there to bring it to extra time.

That's it, exactly.

Look, it looked dead and buried there for a while, but, look, we knew that if we could get the ball in, we had dangerous forwards inside, and thanks be to God, that's what happened.

Jamie got the goal at the death, like... which was brilliant, in

fairness.

And as you know, Pat, extra time can take its own thing, and really, it was tipsy-turvy, but you got two goals back-to-back,

which really, that was comfortable.

Yeah, we did, actually, and we had to bring Les, who he had taken off, back on, just to shore things up, and in fairness, they'd left everything out there, as you can see, and they're turned on the ground, I don't know when they get up for the rest of the day, but yeah, they gave us everything, in fairness.
