Experience will keep Cats on course

ONE thing Galway can’t complain about going into this Leinster final is a lack of games – in fact they have more big matches played than Kilkenny, three to one.

Mind you, I can’t ever say I ever heard any complaints from Galway when they were getting through to an All-Ireland final after playing just one game – all the complaints in those days came from outside Galway.

It was only when Galway were failing again and again under the new qualifier system that they started looking for participation in Leinster – well, now they have it. There’s one thing that puzzles me though – why is it only at senior level? Why doesn’t the same logic apply at minor and U21 level? Doesn’t make sense to me.
