Bradshaw keeps bouncing back

HARD knocks in sport can make or break you.

Gareth Bradshaw, Galway’s exciting wing-back, appears to be in the former category. The 23-year-old NUIG health and safety graduate was St. Mary’s college captain in the Hogan Cup final of 2005. It was not to be as Knockbeg College with Donie Brennan in the vanguard won the title. It hurt. And still does.

“I played senior for St. Mary’s for three years under Liam Sammon and we were frustrated not to have won an All-Ireland. Losing that final was immensely disappointing.”
