UCC manager Billy Morgan described the feeling as “euphoric” after his side emerged victorious over UL in last night’s Sigerson Cup final.
It finished 1-16 to 0-16 after extra time in Waterford’s SETU Arena, where the Cork students secured their college’s 24th title overall and Morgan’s fourth as manager, having won the competition twice as a player.
The 78-year-old summed it up when speaking to GAA.ie after the final whistle.
“Euphoric,” said Morgan when asked to describe his emotions afterwards. “It means as much to me as anyone I’ve had so far.
“The first one is always special. The funny thing is I was talking only today to Adrian Greaney, who captained that 2011 team, and he said he thought this team was similar to them in that we’d no superstars.
“We’ve a lot of fellas with county teams. We’ve six or seven in with Cork, two with Kerry, and one with Tipperary, and look, we made the most of our time together.”
