It was a sweet match to win says Gormley

August 08, 2008
Antrim manager Jody Gormley believes that this side learned from the mistakes to 2007 to finally bag the Tommy Murphy Cup and 'you move on and forget about it, you learn from your mistakes; it makes up for losing." "As anyone who ever played football will tell you, nothing makes up for defeat, it's gone; there is nothing you can do about it. You know, it's a sweet match to win, yeah," he said perhaps in a somewhat contradictory manner. While Wicklow did get a dream start with Seanie Furlong's goal 'it's not always necessarily a good thing.' "Guys were building Wicklow up in whatever coverage this game was getting; saying that Wicklow were going to win quite convincingly on their form in the championship." Gormley suggests perhaps that when Wicklow got ahead so easily in the first half that some of the players might have started to believe in what the papers were saying and an element of complacency might have set in.
