Anthony Daly: Cork preparing for different galaxy as sticky Salthill test awaits

The wind is definitely some form of an equaliser for the Cork-Galway game.

In my first year as Clare manager in 2004, we went to Salthill to take on Galway in round 2 in mid-March. 

We’d beaten Dublin in our first game but Galway had been really impressive when sacking Kilkenny the same afternoon so we knew what we were facing.
