Killoe manager Tommy McCormack was at a loss to explain why Darragh Bennett's last-minute 'goal' was disallowed against Garrycastle.
The decision meant the Westmeath champions held on for a one-point victory in yesterday's Leinster club SFC quarter-final at Cusack Park.
"From our stand it was very difficult to know. It's a very hard call," McCormack told RTE.
"It means we're out of the championship at this stage. We're absolutely gutted for our lads. They put in a tremendous performance. There were a few calls in the first half that didn't go our way.
"But look, you have to take the rough with the smooth and we felt a little bit hard done by on the day. We will have to live to fight another day.
"You clasp at anything at that stage to get a victory. We thought it might break in our favour but obviously it didn't."
