There’s no place like home like the county Tyrone, in the village that they call the Moy.
Sean Cavanagh’s All-Ireland count keeps rising.
When the Tyrone legend hung up his inter-county boots this year, the eulogies all followed the same pattern. His 15 years of service were marvelled at but not more so than his three All-Irelands in that time, Tyrone’s only three.
Well, Sean Cavanagh has now won five All-Irelands, if you include his minor title with the Red Hands and Moy’s success on Saturday.
Add to his ridiculous list now, his minor titles, his under-21 glories, schools cups, six inter-county Ulster gongs – put on top of them a Tyrone intermediate club championship, a provincial intermediate club championship and now an All-Ireland intermediate club championship.

Cavanagh kicked five points in the decider as Moy beat Michael Glaveys of Roscommon 1-10 to 0-7.
Tom and Harry Loughran ran riot, Colm Cavanagh was bursting around Croke Park like he’d never tire, so much so he jogged around the field at full time shaking hands with every member of the opposition. And his brother, who he might never play with at Croker again, now has another reshuffling job to do in his trophy cabinet.

The boy has done alright, that’s fair to say. But nothing beats winning with the club and, when Cavanagh helped take Moy all the way at Croke Park, you could tell what it meant. Relief, pride, fulfilment. It could be better than any yet.
Look what it means to @SeanCavanagh14

Then, it was just more outpouring of emotions as Cavanagh himself reflected on his own magical journey.
