Ger Loughnane eats humble pie after Galway defeat Clare

Having been ferocious in his criticism of Galway in the build-up to the All-Ireland quarter-final meeting with his native Clare, Ger Loughnane paid generous tribute to Galway’s performance in the six-point win.

“Galway were a physically stronger team. The great thing about Galway today, their defence and their workrate,” said Loughnane on RTE’s coverage of the game.
