00:00Chesley, I'll ask you first, just your thoughts on today's game, 0-0 at half time and then you really stepped up the gear probably in the second half?
00:07Probably nerves of the occasion for the lads, because it means so much, so nervous first half, second half I think we all seen how good we can be as a group ourselves and then the people sitting watching, so yeah it was what we expected.
00:30We expected it to be, if I'm honest, it's a semi-final and because we care so much, the boys care, it was a nervous start, but we go tomorrow again for the final, so good.
00:43And Davey was annoying in the final, as Chesley said, is that something you set your eyes on at the start of the week?
00:48Always, every time, so it's tournament football, it's not a league, it is development in a way, but it's tournament football and we never ever go in and believe, I don't believe that we can get that final.
01:00It's three years now, myself and Chesley have done it and every single year we always want to get the best out of the boys and also get to the final.
01:08There's never ever a doubt in our head that we're not able to do it. We're not naive to think it's going to be a walk in the park, but we are always confident in the squads that we produce that they're capable of reaching the final and the guys have done it again today, which is great.
01:23And Chesley, it's an all-county final against Armagh tomorrow. Are you happy with that? And I'm sure you'll be looking for everyone from County Antrim to come out and support you.
01:32Yeah, county to county can be a difficult task and a huge amount of respect for the County Armagh guys. We played them in a bit of a prep tournament and they gave us a tough task, so we'll be expecting that again.
01:46And huge congratulations to them for getting to that stage. So it's huge for Northern Ireland football that our talent has got to this showpiece rather than the big boys as such.
02:01And Davey, final question to you. What's the plans then in the night for the squad? A bit early.
02:05The plans of the night is, like we always do, we go and look and see what match we can watch. The boys like to go and watch the older guys playing as well and then they can see what's coming next for them.
02:15But rest, recovery. Get to see a match tonight and then have a rest, recovery and relax for the rest of the night.
