Owens, who made her Dublin debut against Cork in 2012, was thrilled to see her teammates earn their own share of history in a brilliant weekend for Dublin football.
“It is funny because I was around for the three before that we lost. At one point I didn’t think I would even get one,” said Owens.
“It has been great to see the momentum shift, and this team grow and mature. It is something I couldn’t have conceived in 2016 when we had just lost our third in a row.”
Meanwhile, team selector Paul Casey hopes Mick Bohan remains on as the TG4 All-Ireland Senior winners push for a fourth successive crown.
“It’s mad when you get involved in a team like this it’s an eye-opener,” said Casey, who has completed two years with the Dubs.
“When you are a player everything is done for you and you take it for granted. But you see, even as part of the management team, how much work Mick does.
“He has everything in place for the team and management team. He is so important to this group. He leaves no stone unturned in terms of his preparation.
“Mick signed up for another two years last year. He will enjoy the next few days because we have worked hard. It’s time to let the hair down, the pressure is off now. It is time to reflect on a job well done.
“You would hope we will stick together. If Mick stays around I can’t see any of us going anywhere.
“Please God we all knuckle down and are ready for next year.”
