"The comradeship is unreal"

Limerick star Cian Lynch says “you can’t buy the bond” that the team has forged since their All-Ireland SHC victory four weeks ago.
John Kiely’s team secured their county’s first Liam MacCarthy Cup triumph in 45 years a month ago yesterday with a 3-16 to 2-18 victory over Galway at Croke Park and Lynch has described the comradeship in the group since as “unreal”.
“The few weeks after the All-Ireland were so hectic that we were all nearly looking forward to getting back with the club. You can very easily get carried away, the head can go off and you mightn't get back to level earth,” Lynch told the Irish Independent.
"The bond we have is unreal, it's a little family, a band of brothers from one to 36 and the management team and every member of the backroom all the way down to the liaison officer and the kitman. Everyone is as important as the captain of the team.
"The comradeship is unreal, you know you could pick up the phone at any time of the day and ring any one of the lads. It's great getting over the line and winning but if you didn't get over the line you'd still have the boys and you can't buy the bond."
