Manley also pointed to other incidents,including a clear push on Cork goalkeeper Amy Lee in the lead-up to a first-half Galway point. “Amy Lee was pushed in the first half, Clodagh Finn got pushed near the end,” he stated.
Regarding the winning free, Manley relayed that his side believed it was not a foul. “Gemma tells me it wasn’t a free at all,” he said, adding, “Some of the decisions that went against us were awful.”
The Cork manager noted the psychological impact of losing by such a narrow margin: “You lose by a point, you do look at them. You might prefer to be beaten by 20.”
Manley praised his team’s resilience. “One thing I’ll say about our team is they fought so hard,” he commented. “Galway were definitely on top in the first half, brought great physicality, great intensity.But I think we matched them in the second half. With the 14 players, I thought we did a bit better.”
On Looney’s sending off, Manley suggested more leniency. Looney was pushed in the back by Dolan and then struck out.”She’s a brilliant player, Hannah.She’s not a dirty player,” Manley insisted. “A huge loss to our game.” He felt the referee acted too quickly for a red card.
The manager refuted claims that the pre-match talk of a “three-in-a-row” directly impacted their readiness. “We didn’t talk about it really. The outside people spoke about it,” he explained.
Looking ahead, Manley expressed hope for the team’s experienced players to return. “It’s their fifth [final] in a row. They set the standards,” he said. “Galway pushed themselves to get up to it and they were better than us today
