“I wouldn’t call that comprehensive at all at all.”

Limerick manager John Kiely tried to play down his team’s impressive demolition of the All-Ireland champions.

“What hurts is not performing to our potential.”

It’s back to the drawing board for Liam Sheedy and the Premier County.

“Work-rate was one of the main pleasing aspects of it but I thought our use of the ball was really good.”

Liam Cahill guided Waterford to a long overdue Munster SHC win at Cork’s expense.

“We are better than we showed today. No question about that.”

Kieran Kingston and the Rebel County will look to bounce back in the qualifiers.

“We dominated possession in the first half obviously and they dominated possession in the second half.”

It was the proverbial game of two halves as Brian Cody and the Cats survived a stirring second half rally by Dublin.

“It wasn’t left behind in the second half – it was probably left behind in the first half. Some of the mistakes we made in the first half were punished hugely by Kilkenny, and that’s what they do.”

Cody’s Dublin counterpart Mattie Kenny was left to rue a poor opening 35 minutes showing by his troops.

“If there was ever a team performance that was it.”

Shane O’Neill and Galway issued a statement of intent against Wexford in Croke Park on Saturday evening.

“We were absolutely terrible. All I can say to the Wexford supporters is that I am extremely disappointed for the way we performed. We showed no guts, no fight and no character. It's extremely disappointing.”

Davy Fitzgerald didn’t mince his words after the Model County surrendered their Leinster SHC crown.
