Coughlan in dreamland

March 12, 2010

Kilmurry-Ibrickane's Evan Talty, Enda Coughlan and Shane Hickey tackle Brian Glynn of Portlaoise during the AIB All-Ireland club SFC semi-final at the Gaelic Grounds
Kilmurry Ibrickane captain Enda Coughlan admits that leading the side out onto Croke Park in an All-Ireland final is a dream come true.

The Clare and Munster champions have defied the odds to reach the All-Ireland club final where they will face Antrim side St Gall's in a novel decider.

Coughlan has led by example on the field and he admits that it won't get any better than running out onto the hallowed turf of Croke Park on St Patrick's Day.

"It's a great honour to be captain. There is no extra pressure. Anyone that has anything to say can say it. There are 34 players on the panel and anyone of them could have been captain," said Coughlan.

"I was lucky to get the honour this year. It would be a great honour for a small club to win the title and we are just sixty minutes away from doing it now. It is every young fella's dream to play there for his club and county and thankfully that dream has come through for us now."
