Niall Ó Ceallacháinn isn't complaining about having to manage two teams at the same time.

Ó Ceallacháinn's juggling act with the Na Fianna and Dublin senior hurlers will continue for another few weeks after he led the Mobhi Road outfit to their first All-Ireland club SHC final against Sarsfields from Cork.

"It's not about me. The support teams in both set-ups are absolutely outstanding. Our three coaches here have taken a huge burden from me," he explained to RTÉ after Na Fianna's dramatic one-point win over Loughrea yesterday.

"It's about the wider set up. It's the same with the inter-county set up. The next few weeks will be busy, but it's a privilege.

"It's just brilliant for the club and from where we have come from. For any club around the country, it's your dream. It's a great occasion."

Ó Ceallacháinn also insisted that his side have improving to do ahead of the final.

"We will enjoy the next day or two. We will be knuckling down because that wasn't good enough today. We have a lot of work to do over the next couple of weeks," he added.
