“Cork’s composure under pressure is remarkable”

STERLING defender David Collins, whose father, Dermot, hails from Cork, issued a defiant message from the Galway dressing room. “We are devastated at the moment but we will be back to win the All-Ireland next year.”

“This is a real heartbreak for us, we honestly believed we could beat Cork and our hearts began to thump when we came back to within a point of them in the second half.

“I thought we had them then, but fair play to Cork, they are a magnificent team, a super side in my book.
