Dublin GAA,All-Ireland Football Championship

'I know no one gave us a prayer, quietly they’d be texting you saying ‘I hope you do well’, but the people inside the room that mattered knew that we had a great chance.'

Pádraic Joyce said that Galway answered questions around their “soft mentality” after dumping Dublin out of the Championship.

Joyce said: “We were four down at half time, but at the same time at half time we come in, there was no roaring or shouting or panicking because we hadn't played overly well. “But fair play to the boys, we still made hard work. We were two up, Johnny Heaney came on the run and probably should have stayed going, he'd a man inside for a goal chance, but kicked it wide.“And Paul had a free at the end as well, two of the more experienced players, you know, we had a quick giggle there, but great we can chat about it and smile about it, but it could have cost us in the end.

“We knew what we had to do, and thankfully, it came off and at least our supporters can get excited about two weeks’ time again.”
