We lost to the better team, admits Ford

CRESTFALLEN Galway manager Peter Ford faced the media and offered no excuses for his team’s defeat:

“We were beaten by a better team in the end and I congratulate Cork and wish them every success for the remainder of the championship. Go on and win the Sam Maguire Cup now, it won’t make us feel too bad.

“It’s difficult to know where it went wrong for us. We did very well in the opening half and scored well, but Cork got a couple of crucial scores in that opening half which kept them in the game.
