Larry O'Gorman

Like every other game, but this one was...

was more intense.

You know, you could feel a little bit in the dressing room where players were sort of maybe going to the toilet a little bit more than they should.

You know, lads were drinking a lot more water than they should.

Fellas were putting on their jersey, taking it back off.

Fellas putting on their boots, taking it back off.

You know, you could see fellas with their hands in their head, you know, you'd be looking around and say, well, you know, are we in a strange place here now or what are these other players thinking where I was telling jokes?

Micheál O'Murthy came in to get the team news and I was standing up on the seats.

Liam Griffin had asked me to tell the boys a few jokes.

Micheál O'Murthy couldn't believe it.

He came in and he seen everyone laughing.

He said, what's wrong?

And Liam Griffin pointed up towards me.

He said, look, Larry O's telling the boys a few jokes.

He says he couldn't believe the difference in our dressing room compared to the Limerick dressing room.

Interesting.

He said the registration was completely, now he spoke to Liam Griffith and he said, wow, this is a different atmosphere altogether.

So there was a joyous occasion going on, not because of my few jokes that I was thrown in, but that belief that, you know, this is our final journey together.

No one knows what's going to happen after the final whistle today or what's going to happen on a Monday or Tuesday.

Whether anyone will be still here, God forbid that no one will pass away, but no one knows what's going to happen.
