Kevin Walsh refused to be drawn on speculation about his future as Galway football manager following last night's championship exit at the hands of Mayo.

"Look I'm not going to get into that. I want to make sure that this group go out with their heads held high and not listen to crap outside," the two-time All-Ireland winning midfielder replied when asked if he was stepping down after five years at the helm.

Walsh was left to rue the concession of two early goals after his side's 1-13 to 2-13 defeat in Limerick.

"It was disappointing I suppose there was two goals in the first few minutes. Look we asked for a performance and to die with their boots on and that's what they did. It is really frustrating," he continued.

"We were certainly up for it which was great and they were certainly up for it in the last minute. I know we got two black cards in the end probably trying to rescue the game, maybe a bit of frustration with all the refereeing decisions beforehand and that happens.

"The last year or two we didn't go out strongly. They fought as hard as they could and I can't say anything bad about them."
