Quinn: Team ethic was crucial to victory

St Vincent's full-forward Tomás Quinn has praised his side's team ethic following their Dublin SFC final victory over St Oliver Plunkett's.

Vincent's narrow 0-14 to 1-10 victory ensured their 26th title and Quinn attributed the win to their collective group effort.

He told RTÉ Sport: "You don't really give it a thought as a personal achievement. We go out to win as a team. I suppose that's all you take from it.

"Playing team sports is what we do and it's the beauty of winning with 34 other guys and the management. It's just the end of a beautiful weekend really, and a great weekend for the club.

"Diarmuid [Connolly] won an All-Star [on] Friday night. Couple of guys – Nathan Mullins, Neil Billings [came] back from long-term injuries and back training with us Saturday.

"We all just came in here tonight feeling good."

Plunkett's came within a whisker of snatching a draw and forcing extra-time, having scored an unanswered 1-02 late in the second half, and Quinn admitted Vincent's were relieved to come out on top.

"The goal gave them a great lift and they got a point just after it, and in the end we were hanging on," said Quinn.

"We were happier to get full-time. Any time it comes down to a point game, when you're one up you're praying for the whistle, when you're one down you're hoping for a few minutes longer.

"It was tough but we just trusted the work we've done all year.

"There's been a lot of close games in the last 12 months. We trust we've got guys who want the ball in the last few minutes to make good decisions, and that's what happened."
