Henry Shefflin hailed his Galway players after they bounced back from their Leinster final heartache to book an All-Ireland semi-final spot.
Having been beaten by a sucker-punch Cillian Buckley goal for Kilkenny in the depths of injury time 13 days earlier, Galway responded impressively with a win over Tipperary that was more comfortable than the final two-point margin might have suggested.
Tribe boss Shefflin said: “Just after the last day when that moment happened and that evening, you're wondering what's going to happen in two weeks' time. I think they responded very well.
