00:00Brian you get over to the line of the night, fair to say a very important win?
00:03Yeah definitely, definitely an important win. We really needed to keep our hopes up in this
00:09division and we're just delighted that we got the result in the end.
00:13And you're pushing at the end, probably the game was level coming down the stretch but
00:16a draw probably wouldn't have done you much good either, you had to go and win it.
00:19We had to go and win it, we needed and wanted the win, we weren't even here without the
00:23win so just delighted that we got the hunger and desire to go on and win the game in the
00:28end when it was getting tight so just happy for the win.
00:32And look, I know you've been down towards the bottom of the table but you've probably
00:34been unlucky, you've lost a lot of tight games and what was the message from the management
00:38sort of coming into these last couple of games?
00:40It's just the past couple of weeks we've been working on ourselves and doing a lot of work
00:45there and the message was just go and play and enjoy it and just try and get the three
00:49points over the line and just express ourselves and enjoy ourselves.
00:53And look it was a great game to watch in the stands, 126 to 28 points is some scoring,
00:57must have been a great game to play in.
00:58It was tit for tat the whole way through, a couple of great Lachlan and Bobby Ford and
01:04a couple of quality forwards but the game was just to get over the line and win with
01:09two points.
01:10And you're now on four points a level with the likes of Cork and Louth but you don't
01:12want to push on now next week as well and get another result?
01:14Definitely, I want to go to Clonamas next week and get another result there and play
01:18in the division.
01:19And it was great, you're getting mobbed there for selfies and autographs at the end, it's
01:22great to see that though isn't it for when you get a win here at home?
01:25It's great to see all the supporters out tonight, a massive crowd, they're roaring and cheering
01:29us on, they really got us over the line and let's really dig deep.
