He believes the win and more importantly the silverware will create an unbreakable bond between Fitzgerald and his players.
"Now that the silverware is there, it creates that bond,' the Birr man told OTB.
The Offaly man said the player's will realise what they've done in the dressing room, he believes it will be a joyous and emotional time for the team.
"It'll be a special time in the dressing room after because it's them and they can look at one another, and they'll know what they've done. It's a magical feeling, I'm so happy for them."
