Tribe must cope with pressure and expectation
It’s something that has really stood out for me so far this year. Not since the late ’80s have I seen a Galway team play with the kind of ferocity they showed against Kilkenny in the Leinster final. And it didn’t matter whether it was nice aggression or ugly aggression, they were hitting.
The management team of Anthony Cunningham, Tom Helebert and Mattie Kenny had taken a lot of flak over the number of big names they had dropped from the panel but they didn’t give a damn. They’re in this job for one reason and one reason only — they want to see Galway winning at this level.
