KILMIHIL wanted to have “no regrets” when they took to the field in Sunday’s Clare LGFA final.
Victorious captain, Rosie Currane said getting over the line to win a second championship was a dream for the West Clare club. “I can’t put this into words to be honest. To win with this group of girls is a dream. We had thirty eight girls togged out today. We have had so much disappointment and we have let ourselves down in the past couple of years. We have a serious team and panel and we went out today to make sure there are no regrets and we did that”.
She paid tribute to their entire panel of players. “I need to commend the girls who were on the line. We had another group of players who should have been on the pitch, Competition for places was fierce and it’s wonderful to captain this bunch of girls”.
Defender Rosie continued, “the support was just unbelievable, they are fantastic, it’s a fantastic parish and a fantastic community. I actually can’t put into words right now what it means to us, they are just fantastic”.
She said. “there was no getting past our defence today. We went out with a different attitude and we were going from he off. In the past we sometimes had taken ten or fifteen minutes to settle in but that wasn’t going to happen today”.
“Credit to the Banner, they are a super team. Our goal was to be ahead from the start and it was going to be hard to beat us today with attitude we had coming out. We will show the same pride when representing the club and the county in the upcoming Munster championship,” she concluded.
