THE BARRS now knows what it's like to win a senior county title again.
In these last few minutes of play, as the emotion of 33 years felt like it would burst open Páirc Uí Chaoimh with pure will to make this finally happen, it might even have been like it was worth the wait for the Barrs, an epic kind Cork football again.
It would be an excellent experience, but it would be a great success, but it would have been more effective, but it would not be possible to do so. be left wondering.
Ian Maguire has been a huge success, just about, helping out the challenge of mid-level and getting the ball rolling. They scored 3-14 and always found someone willing and able to make it happen.
Steven Sherlock kicked 1-8 which is about his average and they found goals, really well-finished ones, from Colin Lyons and Eoghan Finn when others needed to step up. It was that heroes-everywhere fate of day; it has to be when you have a game ebbs and flows through 33 scores.
The place was hardly packed but it had the feel of a proper county final with enough quality. Sure, there was a feeling that they had a strong sense of control over their area of defense – but they were still well-worked goals that were needed to be created.
And it only added to the sense of openness, that you were never quite sure where the game was going.
Kevin Crowley, Aidan Walsh, with the help of the two goals, one from a long kick-pbad, the second from a well-timed athletic run, and several times where he fetched a ball or took off on a run where he looked at the standout footballer on the field.
Donncha O'Connor kicked a couple of lovely points and maybe three kick-pbaded badists that nobody else on the field had the vision or skillset to perform.
They kicked the ball well into spaces, created great link-ups between their forwards to score 2-14 and last 20 years. And still, it was not enough because of the sheer refusal of the Barrs to allow another final county of their control.
At one point of the first half Ray Keane was shouting on the sideline for midfielder Eoin Comyns to run back and protect his goal from a threatening Duhallow break; the next minute he's gotten to the center of the Duhallow defense to his game No 15 for a chance goal – there was little doubt Steven Sherlock would bury it.
And that set the tone for the energy levels and persistence and non-stop running of the winners here, where they are trying to keep the pace of the game as high as possible. went down to notch.
The second goal came from a lovely dinked kick-pbad Michael Shields and a perfectly-timed live run from Colin Lyons who took a ball at the ball and broke the ball into the bottom corner. They did not have the longest kick-pbading game of Duhallow but they just did not know where to go.
Conor Dennehy bombed forward at one stage of the first half right down the middle to point punch. Eoghan Finn took advantage of a loose kick-out to work the third goal and found his way back to the end.
And they had Maguire of course, who's probably done more than anyone in standard-setting and performing. He caught four kick-outs in the first quarter.
In the past, it has not been possible to have a position in the past, but it has been middle third by beating a man and giving a handpbad to the next runner.
At Barrs won a free ride and the ball was handed to Maguire. He was kicked back, and the ball was handed over to Maguire.
He is backing himself to kick a crossfield ball into traffic Maguire and the Barrs here.
They had that raw willingness to do whatever they were to. The roar at the whistle sounded like an awful lot of bread being belted into the winter air. The Barrs won as they had to.
