They played out a game for the ages with Waterford, it was an advertisement for hurling, it was two of the most skillful teams in the country and they delivered on the biggest day of all.
It wasn't as if Waterford didn't show up, it wasn't as if they thrown it away, it wasn't as if they didn't do themselves justice.
These lads can have no regrets, absolutely none. They put their heart and soul into this team, into this cause, from the very beginning of the year, and even when they were maligned, criticised and taken apart for their defensive style, they stuck together, they stayed side by side.
Their team unity, spirit and camaraderie is unquestionable, their talent, their strength of will and character is unquestionable.
From Derek McGrath to each and every other member of this panel, there are heroes, there are legends.
If there is one man from this panel who embodies everything that is good about this Waterford team, that man is surely Jamie Barron.
He may be small in stature, but by God, he's big in heart. The midfield maestro never stops trying, running, hooking, hassling, probing, carrying and leading.
Jamie Barron is one of the most skillful players in the country, with his wristy touch, his pinging strike, but what separates him from the rest of them is his courage, his bravery.
He never stops, he's never deterred. He'll run, run and run. His dazzling feet and cutting ball-carrying ability is the heart that never stops beating in the sunny south east, and though Sunday wasn't what they wanted it to be, this man shouldn't be forgotten, this team shouldn't be forgotten.
He was brilliant today, he was brilliant all year and nobody can take that away from him.

Joe Brolly takes has sly dig at Mayo club he used to coach
Typical! Joe Brolly was the entertainer once again in his latest column for the Irish Independent. This time, the outspoken pundit took a swipe at the Mayo footballers, claiming that they look down on their Connacht rivals Roscommon, and that they have no right to do so. He used Mayo club champions Ballina Stephenites as […]
