Fitzgerald 'feeds off heart and spirit'

Davy Fitzgerald was a relieved man in the red-hot atmosphere of Semple Stadium yesterday, as his Waterford charges pipped Wexford by a point to set up a shot at Munster champions Tipperary.

Fitzgerald sunk to his knees and put his head in his hands after referee John Sexton blew for full-time, confirming the Deise's 2-19 to 3-15 win and their qualification for a third straight All-Ireland semi-final.
