CROSSING the line on Pegasus Bridge at Dundalk last Friday night I was unsure if I had held on. As we were pulling up, one of the lads asked if I had won but I wasn’t able to answer.

Even looking at the replay on the big screen on the way back up the track the result was still too close to call. I was genuinely in shock when his number was called as the winner; a week on and it has still to really sink in.
