Ronan O'Toole fulfilled a childhood dream in Croke Park.
Tailteann Cup Final Man of the Match Ronan O'Toole says winning Westmeath's first inter county senior silverware since the Leinster title in 2004 is a dream come true.
The St Loman's man scored five points, all from play, in Westmeath's win over Cavan.
