Gort’s day to bridge the long wait

ANDY COEN was just two the last time Gort won the Galway senior hurling title, in 1983.

Tomorrow, he captains the side bidding to end that title drought against Clarinbridge in Pearse Stadium.

It is little wonder manager Mattie Murphy handed him the skipper’s armband this season. Coen is very serious about his hurling, and his club. He has worked hard for some tangible success. And he believes that now is the time.
