Camogie round-up: ‘We weren’t at the races’ – Galway boss Cathal Murray issues rallying cry after loss to champs Cork

Galway camogie manager Cathal Murray

Galway manager Cathal Murray has backed his charges to consign Saturday’s listless effort against Cork to the dustbin and put their best foot forward against Waterford in next Sunday’s Glen Dimplex All-Ireland quarter-final at Croke Park (1.30).

Murray is backing knockout competition to bring the best out of his crew, but they will have to improve considerably on the 2-16 to 1-7 loss at SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh, which means they must line out again eight days later, while the champions will have four weeks off before the All-Ireland semi-final double-header at Nowlan Park on July 27.
