Austin Gleeson says players heeded manager’s half-time directive

Waterford’s match-winner on Sunday Austin Gleeson has endorsed manager Derek McGrath’s half-time directions to the team.

McGrath told his charges to stop complaining about refereeing decisions and to resume working hard in their Allianz Hurling League clash with Tipperary, and Gleeson agreed completely.

“Absolutely, Derek was right, in a lot of ways Tipperary were playing the way we wanted to be playing. They were showing us that it’s a battle.
