00:00Second, first of all most congratulations. How good does that feel to be league champions?
00:03It's unbelievable. At the start of the year, when we sat in there, I think it was on the 22nd of June, Gary had us back, and from last year I think we finished 10th, which didn't end well for us, but since Gary's come in and sent him in Andy, Fargo, Woodsy, Gerard, all of them, our intention was to track it up this year.
00:22Everybody doubted us, I remember going to games last year, went away to Port Stewart, different places, Toby Maw we drew, beat away to Port Stewart, things were nearly laughing at us, so come this far, it's absolutely unbelievable, we're just absolutely delighted, like I said, Gary and the coaching staff have been classed.
00:41Yeah, and you obviously played your part as well today with the goal, it was a pretty perfect cross put in, and you met as well.
00:46Yeah, yeah, it was unbelievable, Dermy just went down the channel and put it up, and it was harder to miss, I think, than the score, like, so, yeah, we just put it in there, so it was happy enough, but even before the game, a few guys were saying, I think they were going to score, I think they were going to score, so, delighted to score, but just the win, most importantly, like, I'm happy with that, like.
01:04Yeah, there seems to be a good unity in the team, how enjoyable has this season been, if you've been part of the group, and obviously when you're winning every week, it can only be a good thing, right?
01:11Yeah, like I said, there are players, Gary and the boys brought in, they're all brilliant lads, like, we're all best mates, I know it's all cliche, like, but honestly, the boys are all good lads, and come to the train, and choose the Thursday nights in the matches, we just have some incredible nights out, brilliant, we're all a great bunch, like, honestly, couldn't fault any lad there, so, just delighted for every single person there, like, even John Bilyk, Kevin, like, he's, I think he's enjoyed it himself, and Gary back and stuff, so, unbelievable, like, just delighted
