Davy Fitzgerald took aim at Waterford’s critics after they finished their Munster SHC campaign with a stunning victory over Tipperary.

Fitzgerald himself came in for stinging criticism after a heavy defeat to his native Clare a fortnight ago eliminated the Deise with a round still to play.

"It annoys me so much that you get cut the way we got cut after two bad matches. We played well against Limerick, should have won it, first half against Cork we were poor," the Waterford boss told the assembled media at FBD Semple Stadium.

"In the second half, we matched them and had three goal chances and didn't take them. Against Clare we were matching them and had 12 wides to their four at half-time, we'd a poor second half and it affected us.

"Out of the whole championship, we'd two halves that were poor and we got punished badly but to listen to some of the crap that I'd to listen to the last few weeks is absolutely disgraceful and annoying so it is.

"I'm proud for the guys because those boys have trained so hard, they have worked so hard and it's so annoying to see them be treated the way they are being treated.”
