What they Said
"I knew at half-time we had to get our act together or it would be one of those games.
"But we were very exciting in the second half. We played as well as any side has played this season.
โWe ripped them apart and it could have finished six, seven or eight.
โMcGrath could have had a hat-trick in the end but their goalkeeper Alan Kelly was outstanding, brilliant.
