"We dedicate this victory to Coley Folan. This is for him," said McCooney before hoisting the cup aloft.

He continued: "We love our club and we are very passionate about it. We have to thank all the people behind the scenes at the club, our manager Keith Sweeney and a special mention to the young, English-born lads in the squad - even at just the ages of 18 or 19 they are a credit to the club and themselves.

McDermotts were 1-8 to 0-10 winners over Mitchels in the replay at Pairc na hEireann.
