Cian Darcy says he was determined to have no regrets after this year’s county senior hurling final replay.
The Kilruane forward scored 2-02 from play to help the magpies to a first Dan Breen victory since 1985.
In the drawn game, the 24-year-old scored a late point which put his side into a one-point lead.
Speaking after the full-time whistle on Sunday, Darcy said he wasn’t going to leave any goal chances behind him this time.
“The last day I got the ball over on the right hand side of the field and I put the ball over the bar. I probably got a small bit criticised for it but it’s probably been something that has been lacking in my game and I know that I can do.
“Today was the day where I said to myself ‘look, I’m not leaving anything behind me on this pitch on this field’.
“I had a few regrets after the last game and I said today I was going for that jugular and I just said when I got the ball I saw that I had three or four yards and I said ‘I’m just going for it’.
“On county final day, anything can happen and I said If I don’t go for it I won’t score it so look, you have to just take a chance.”
