You cannot buy confidence. Galway have it in abundance

Galway have shown to date that when they are tuned and ready, they are capable of wrecking teams, writes Anthony Daly.

I was in Ballybrit on Monday evening. The buzz was deadly, as usual. The chat was flowing. Fellas were nearly more interested in trying to find out if you had a winner than they were in talking hurling but most of the conversation still found its way back to hurling.

It always does.
