Can Galway handle the pressures of winning?

Celebrating league titles are all the rage these days. Kerry’s footballers lost themselves for a minute or two on the Croke Park pitch before there was a collective realisation that it was early April. 

Given whom they had beaten, not to mention the ferocity of Division 1 this year, they had reason for a momentary absence of composure.

Galway? Scratching a seven-year itch was worth applauding but when their league structure militates against a Division 1A team like Tipperary and benefits those from the lower rung on the ladder, their title comes with an asterisk.
