Damien Comer is confident that Galway can challenge for a place in the All-Ireland series.

Last weekend's victory in Armagh has earned the Tribesmen a home clash with Derry this weekend. Win that and they are just one win away from the All-Ireland quarter-finals.

"Of course, you can only look to the next game but we have aspirations to go really far with this team," Comer says in The Irish Times.

"You hear it said sometimes as well that Galway don't have the bottle anymore, but I think we've been showing plenty of that. Especially to finish out Armagh in Armagh.

"It's all about recovery now between games. We don't mind that and we're happy to be out again this weekend, and we'll take lots of confidence from beating Armagh in the way we did.

"Kevin has instilled a lot of belief into this team. He knows how good we are. He's just trying to feed it though the team, and we're starting to believe how good we are.

"We've shown it by putting it up to some of the best teams in challenge matches lately, and now in the qualifiers as well. We still feel that if it wasn't for a few unlucky breaks against Mayo we'd be in a Connacht final.

"And that was a real suckerpunch. We felt that game was there for the taking and just a few of the breaks, a few mistakes, cost us. You need those on the day."
