Veteran All-Ireland club JHC-winning medallist Pat Heffernan says winning a national title with his Blackrock (Limerick) team-mates represents a dream come true.

Heffernan was one of his team's stars as they beat Tyrone and Ulster champions St. Colmcille's by 1-18 to 0-9 to secure the silverware at Croke Park.

"It's a dream come true," Heffernan beamed after the final whistle. "To win an All-Ireland with your own club, in Croke Park - nothing can come close to this.

"We didn't play as well as we've played all season but we're very happy with the result - we got the win, and that's the main thing.

"There's a lot of talent in the club, young talent, a lot of lads coming through from the U21 county title last year, and when you have leaders in every line, as we have, you're going to come up trumps.

"My heart goes out to those boys (Colmcille's). We know the effort they made to get here." Tweet
