TG4 All-Ireland Championships wrap
Compiled by John Fallon
Waterford manager Pat Sullivan hailed his side as they ousted Donegal to set up a TG4 All-Ireland SFC quarter-final date with neighbours Cork.
All-Ireland champions Dublin will host Galway, last year’s runners-up Kerry will entertain Meath and Mayo face a trip to Armagh in the other quarter-finals.
A first half goal from Eve Power was decisive as Waterford booked their place in the last eight with a 1-10 to 0-7 victory over Donegal at Walsh Park.
“It’s amazing for this bunch of players,” said Sullivan. “We’ve put a lot of effort in this year. This was a target we set ourselves the minute the draw came out. We played a really good team in Kerry and they showed how good they were.
“We met as a group last Sunday and we reviewed what happened in the Kerry game. We knew we were better than that. We were off in a lot of areas. We were here Tuesday night and we left in a really good place. Today was a day that everything came together. We got on the front foot from the start.”
Donegal now join Tipperary, Laois and Kildare in the relegation battle and manager John McNulty knows they need to regroup from this loss in Waterford.
