Tony Browne: We could have buried Galway in the spring

The excitement in Waterford is unbelievable but people outside of the team bubble must respect that bubble. Give the lads their own space. If he’s having lunch, let him have his lunch in peace. You can get his autograph next month, writes Tony Browne.

ALTHOUGH I think Waterford’s superior bench may give us the edge on Sunday, a part of me is uneasy with the fact that the same day Derek McGrath learned just how much strength in depth he had, he inadvertently gave birth to a monster.

Would Galway be marching into this final with the chests out so boldly if they’d lost that league quarter-final to Waterford back on the first Sunday of April? Would they have even made it this far?
