We had the night booked for this year as we expected a double celebration with Galway but when the official lunch still wasn’t going ahead, we choose to wait, and we’ll celebrate our 1995 and 1997 victories together next year, please God.

Galway captain Imelda Hobbins said: “I knew that if we were below six points behind them at the break that we would win the All Ireland. Those goals just after the break were an almighty boost for us.
