All the pressure on Galway after skinning Cats

Galway went into their last game with no expectation.

Their fans now expect a similar performance to the Leinster final and that expectation, coupled with the mantle of being hot favourites, is a burden of pressure they didn’t have to carry the last day.

It is very difficult to serve up two near perfect displays in succession and even tougher to make sure a team is not overconfident.
