“I had no doubt coming up today that we were going to come away with a win, to be honest,” she said as she collected her award at the team banquet on Sunday night.
“There’s just such characters in this dressing room. The work we put in this year was absolutely ridiculous.
“Even when people doubted us, we never doubted ourselves.
“To be honest, we pulled off some wins at the start that kind of shook us a bit, but if you look at the players we have in this changing room, they’re unbelievable. They’re unbelievable people. I’m just so happy for us all.”
Invited by RTÉ’s Marty Morrissey to celebrate the occasion by singing live on The Sunday Game, McCartan politely declined, saying, “Not a hope, Marty. Not a hope, not a hope.”
