He told Donegal Daily, “Hugely proud to say the least, what an outstanding achievement.

“So proud to say I coached a team that battled like that from start to finish.

“The pressure from UCD in the second half was immense but we stood firm and we answered everything they threw at us.

“To reach an All-Ireland is an incredible achievement and I’m just so proud of the team.
