Galway manager Padraic Joyce hailed what he described as “a super, super performance” from his team in yesterday’s All-Ireland SFC quarter-final win over Dublin.

The Tribesmen produced a sensational second-half display at Croke Park to tear up the script and claim a 0-17 to 0-16 victory against the holders to progress to the last four.

Speaking to RTE Sport afterwards, Joyce was quick to heap praise on his players while also citing the Dubs as “a fantastic team”

"There’s always a question mark over Galway, I get that, and it will remain until we win an All-Ireland, it’s as simple as that," said Joyce.

"We have nothing won today but it was very satisfying to win that game, and the manner of how we won it as well, our defence was outstanding, Sean Mulkerrin, Dylan McHugh, Jack (Glynn) and Johnny (McGrath) were fantastic.

"We were two up and Johnny Heaney hit a wide and I thought it was gone, I thought they’d equalise at the end.

"A fantastic team, Dublin, they are the standard-bearers and if we could get half the success, they had we’d be happy enough."
