Padraic Joyce hailed Matthew Tierney’s “phenomenal” contribution as Galway swept to a Connacht final victory over Sligo.
Tierney hit a brilliant 2-7 in Galway’s 14-point win, with Tribe boss Joyce admitting afterwards that he had challenged him to put more scores on the board.
He said: “I’m constantly telling him he should be kicking 1-2 or 1-3, but 2-7 was a phenomenal score in fairness to him.
