St Thomas' have bounced back from three defeats in their first four Galway SHC games in emphatic fashion and manager John Burke hopes they can continue their winning ways in today's decider against Gort.

Appearing in their first county final since winning the silverware four years ago, 2013 All-Ireland Club winning manager Burke told gaa.ie: "The years aren't long ticking by, 2012 is four years.

"Everyone says when you are in a County Final that you'll be in it again, but that doesn't always happen so it is brilliant to be back in it. The lads have worked hard for it so it is great.

"We were lucky enough, we are lucky to be there, but it is great to be in it."

On today's final opponents, he added: "We are neighbours, we have played so often in different things, there is great rivalry there, we all know each other."
