We're Going To Do It

The famous line from Ger Loughnane in the 1995 All Ireland final.

Is there a time you thought this, when your county was on the verge of a breakthrough?

For our hurlers, I thought this when we beat Kilkenny in the 2018 all Ireland quarter final. Richie Hogan goaled to put Kilkenny 2 points up and then we outscored them 0-5 to 0-1 at the end. Tom Morrisey's point was the exact moment for me. As that ball sailed over the bar, I was fairly sure that if we could do this to hurling's kingpins, we could beat anyone.

I thought Kerry were finally going to win the McDonagh Cup. An Antrim player was bizarrely awarded the winning free for falling over himself! The opportunity to force a Munster playoff was lost.

2021 All Ireland final v Tyrone. Was never confident when we faced the dubs in those finals but 2021 broke me. Really thought heading up that morning we were going to finally do it. Now I doubt if I'll ever see it.

Leinster final 2010. I thought once JP Rooney scored a goal for Louth with 7 minutes left that we would win.

1996..Ciaran Careys winning point v Clare.
the defending champions gone. I was certain after that match we'd win the all Ireland. Never thought we'd have to wait another 22 years..

Thank God to have seen these last few years.

Joe Sheridans "try" was the worst GAA officiating decision I've ever seen in my life. And umpires staring at it..
