Davy Fitzgerald was pleased with the battling qualities displayed by Waterford in their thrilling NHL draw with Cork.

"Other teams might have thrown in the towel after getting two or three killer blows. How many times were we six points down? Again in the second half we could have folded. But we didn't. We fought on and that's one of the things I like about these things," the Deise boss said.

Despite seeing his side reeled in at the end, Cork manager Denis Walsh was also content.

"A fair result really. I felt both sides deserved to take something out of it which happened in the end. Waterford hurled very well in the second half, but I thought we put some nice passages of play together too." Tweet
