00:00First and foremost, congratulations. How good does that feel to be the Intermediate Champions?

00:05Yeah, it feels good. Definitely better here this year than last year.

00:09How tough was it to play in these conditions?

00:13Yeah, that first half was horrendous to play against, to be honest.

00:17As you can see there in the second half, I only kicked some spectacular free kicks.

00:24Yeah, you knew when you had to come back, you always had the chance.

00:27It was an all-back game score, so it was needed.

00:30And we did that in the end.

00:32Was that the message at half-time? You were four points down, but were you content that you were still in the game?

00:37Yeah, we were. You would have been happier to have got that late goal at the end of the half.

00:42You would have been happy not to have scored in half-time.

00:44But it is what it is. You went down four in half-time, down four.

00:48But when you get half-time, we just compose ourselves.

00:50We didn't kick a few in long there. At the start it didn't work out, so we needed to calm down a bit.

00:55But we got a score to finish with.

00:56Your goal and the timing of it was so crucial. You were down by four points.

00:59When you got that goal, did that give you the belief that you could go on and win it?

01:02It did, yeah. It did, surely.

01:04I think we were point-time maybe after that.

01:06So, it did.

01:08Yeah, everyone, even the Celtics were on.

01:10If we had a magic in front of Kelly, he would probably not have had any big chances to get there.

01:14So, unbelievable.

01:16Yeah, you've touched on it there. Can you describe that moment, seeing Kelly shot over the bar?

01:20Unbelievable. You knew as soon as he got in and then right forward, he was taking a home run.

01:24Ah, what a score.

01:26And a good night to look forward to tonight.

01:28Next few days.

01:29Absolutely.

01:30Good next few days.

01:31Well deserved, everyone. Thanks for your time.
