WATCH: 'I can't put into words what this means' says Adare football captain Eoghan Costelloe

"I can't put into words right now how special this feeling is and having captained this team through all the heart breaks this win is ever more special" says Adare senior football captain Eoghan Costelloe after his sides victory in the county final against Fr Caseys this afternoon.
