Waterford ladies football manager Pat Sullivan felt that Saturday’s loss to Donegal was one that got away.
"Most definitely. Tactically we came with a plan to unhatch what they had and their strengths, especially in their forward line. It worked a treat. We were in a great place at half time. For the neutral watching, it probably wasn't the most stylish game. It was irrelevant for where we wanted to be and we were there. We got a great opportunity in the second half with the penalty and just didn't take that chance. They moved out to 8-2 which we had to go and fight. In the last three or four minutes, there was only one team going to win it. We just didn't take our chances. It was a game that we owned for a lot of time. We turned them over in vital positions and we caused them havoc when we went forward at pace. Look, at senior level, you've got to take the chances. It's a game I feel we left behind."
