Reaction
[edit]Dublin manager Anthony Daly felt that his side’s four-match run-up to the final had stood to them against Galway, saying "We hoped to get off to a good start and we did, even though it was two points all, three all, four for a long time but we kicked on after about 15. We got the bit of a lead and a bit of momentum and the goal came then, and it was a great break to get."[6] Galway manager Anthony Cunningham accepted that his team were second best on the day, saying "I think Dublin showed fantastic skill, fantastic fitness levels, and fantastic strength there. They were the clear winners."[7][8]
