"It was a pretty special feeling when you walked out in the stadium and the crowd were actually cheering for us, I've never experienced that and in such a big, big match.
"In the warm-up I looked around and I was like, the other teams aren't here so they have to be cheering for us."
"When you looked up at the crowd, I normally don't engage with the crowd, they were looking at us and a few were waving and giving us thumbs up and congratulations. I thought that was pretty special."

Copy link Copied By You won't get a Devil of a bargain Man Utd are ready to stay 'resolute' when it comes to the valuations of players they expect to leave this summer. The Red Devils are set to shift on a number of big name players with raising funds one objective for the board in the coming weeks and months. According to Ben Jacobs, United are willing to sell Jadon Sancho, Alejandro Garnacho, Marcus Rashford and Antony to bring in some cash. But the Old Trafford top brass want to ensure they are getting the right fee for each player and won't sell just for the sake of getting the stars off the books. Copy link Copied By Open and shut case for transfers This unusual two-part summer transfer window has seen its first half come to an end. The reason this year's summer market is different is the revamped Club World Cup, which will begin this coming Sunday. To accommodate clubs wanting to sign players ahead of the controversial tournament, the transfer window opened early on June 1. But due to FIFA's rules stipulating the transfer windows in a calendar year when combined cannot be greater than 16 weeks, a break had to be inserted – therefore the first window closed tonight at 7pm BST. The initial 10-day period applied only to the 20 national associations with teams playing in the Club World Cup to allow them to register players for the group stages of the competition. That includes England, with Manchester City and Chelsea set to compete in the tournament. The summer transfer window reopens on June 16 and will remain open until September 1.

Drop in trip should suit Comanche Brave at Leopardstown
The feature on Thursday evening's card in Leopardstown is the Group 3 Barberstown Castle Stakes and Comanche Brave can build on a fine effort in the Irish 2,000 Guineas by claiming victory here. In the colts' classic, Donnacha O'Brien's horse outran his odds of 50-1 by finishing fifth behind Field Of Gold. That was his first try at a mile and while he probably stays the trip well enough, the return to seven furlongs is a positive at this stage of his career. If we look back one more race, to his seasonal debut, he finished runner-up to Henri Matisse in a Group 3 over Thursday's course and distance, and the winner gave that form a fine boost by winning the French 2000 Guineas on his next start. Everything points to Comanche Brave being a progressive sort, and he should take a great deal of beating. Ryan Moore takes over in the saddle and can get him home in front, with Cowardofthecounty the one to chase him home. At much bigger odds, Easy could reach the frame. The nap goes to Shakazia, who can continue the good run of trainer Johnny Murtagh by taking the second race, the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies' Maiden. Quite well beaten but certainly not disgraced on her only start at two, she made her return little over a month ago and produced a much-improved display to finish runner-up behind the useful Sound Of Lightning. There was a bunch finish for the places in that races, which makes the form more difficult to assess, but she did well to finish so close considering she was keen early and had to make plenty of ground from off the pace. This does not look to be the strongest of races and a little progress from that outing, which can be expected, ought to be enough to help her earn her stripes. San Aer is without a win since late 2023 but Tom Mullins' gelding ran well in defeat in a premier handicap on his most recent start and will find 'The 1878 At 3Arena' Apprentice Handicap a more manageable affair. He is preferred to Lady Lunette, who was disappointing last time out but would be a leading player if return to her best form.
