Absolutely nuts. Probably the worst team performance (especially their forwards) in 5 years. But they won't care and nor should they. Congrats Kilcoo.

[Sheedy]

Brilliant spirit from kilcoo, never say die. Looked beat in first half and again in extra time. Congratulations to all

[Mourne Rover]

That was the worst Kilcoo have played in about three years and yet they are All Ireland champions. What probably made the difference was that they are so used to extra time and will never panic under any circumstances. Ryan Johnson managed to miss from two yards out with their last attack but Jerome, even on one leg for most of the match, knew where the goal was. One brother owes the other a pint tonight.

I doubt either of them will need to put the hand in the pocket for a pint for a while now. Great composure as always, and even not at their best the belief they have is amazing. Credit to Devlin, missed 2 easy scores at the start but scored at the death to level it. Also good to see Moran finally win that elusive cup.

Was in Croke pk this evening. Has club finals day ever had such dramatic endings. At HT kilcoo looked dead and buried but you can never write then off. Unbelievable spirit and determination. Poor in 1st half infront of the posts but they weren't leaving croke pk without the cup. Congratulations to a great team and club. You've done yourselves proud. And Down is delighted for you. Most of us anyway. Up the Magpies

Wow!
What an incredible performance, resilience , never say die, leadership and ultimately quality to get the goal they needed.
It's some boost to Down to say we have best football club in Ireland , and several clubs in Down will feel they aren't far away.
Down football can now take their lead from Kilcoo's  determination and commitment to quality..
How good it was to see the smiles on the faces of Kilcoo players and volunteers who have put in years of hard work to get the ultimate  accolade. An example to
Us all. Comhghairdeas Cill Chua, just reward for years of hard work.

[Truth hurts]

Well done Kilcoo, they luck was with ye but you make your own luck.
A lot of retirements on the cards along with Mickey but I am hearing they will try to keep him on but the traveling is too much. Apparently, if Mickey goes the whole team will go. What he is done for Kilcoo is amazing.

If Mickey goes the whole team will go - so they won't field at all this year?? Strange...

Was it not the Down subs playing as well?
The south Down big guns are raging prob due to envy which is understandable but tbh there was support from all over the county on Saturday and I saw people from most clubs there. Hopefully, the Kilcoo players weigh in behind the county now as the whole of the county gave them their support. I hope they return the favour.

There were a lot of Down folk there sat night. I saw Burren hats, Clonduff hats, Castlewellan also. And a lot of Down gear. So Kilcoo were well supported by alot of their fellow County men.  Possibly that supposed hatred from some clubs drove Kilcoo on even more. Time to channel that hatred and compete with Kilcoo. Again congrats to the Magpies

I seen Liatriom and Town men, Finn men, Annaclone, even Clonduff and Bridge men there. It was a good united front for the county. There is admiration for them. Moran has changed them and cut out the crap which has caused so much hatred towards them in the county especially the sledging.
But that is gone now, Its time for us all to come together to stay in Divison 2 and make Down great again. Kilcoo winning shows how good our championship is. We have the footballers.

My team for sun
Charlie , Finn, Ryan, Darren, Anto Doc, McP, Mooney, Ward, Odhran, Barry, Kerr, Shealan, Jerome, Corey, Gilly

Loads of pace and defense steadier
