Davy Fitzgerald was making no excuses after watching "awesome" Galway crush his Waterford side.

The Tribesmen turned on the style to batter the Decies into submission at Pearse Stadium on Sunday and manager Fitzgerald paid tribute to Galway for the manner of their 4-15 to 1-15 success:

"The lads work hard - they had a bad day at the office. I am not going to criticise them. There will be enough of people doing that, but leave them off. The lads are good.

"Galway were awesome, absolutely super. They will be very hard to stop this year. They have a very strong panel.

"The scores they took, the goals they took, they totally outclassed us.

"We have an awful lot of work to do to catch up but we will try our best during the year to see if we can catch up a small bit." Tweet
