‘It was a great battle’ – Curran

BY RYAN FERRY

Kevin Curran says Burt fought with everything they had to win Saturday’s Ulster Final.

The defender from Burnfoot scored a vital point in the second half and his team refused to yield against Lavey.

“It was a great battle.

“We knew it was going to be a hard game.

“Every match that we have played so far has been.

“I know we got a good score up against Castlewellan but they made us fight for it.

“As Enda (McDermott) says, we’re not going to get anything handed to us so you need to dig deep and that’s what we did today.

“In the second half, we fought with everything we have.”

Curran is a Digital Design student at Ulster University and he’s looking forward to making the trip across the pond to face the British champions Thomas McCurtains in the Twinning Final.

“We will be back out in two weeks’ time.

“To be honest, we didn’t look past today because we knew we couldn’t take it for granted.

“It will be a great experience for us.

“We are a young team and you have the likes of Stephen (Gillespie), Dara (Grant), ‘Burnsy’ (Paul Burns), and ‘Roger’ (Ronan McDermott) there to give experience.

“That’s the start of it for us now and hopefully there’s more to come.”
