Galway players driving the machine

As Galway v Tipperary games go, Anthony Daly felt yesterday’s was on another level.

At one stage of yesterday’s second half, I was thinking of all the misfortunes in Wembley for the Arsenal-Chelsea Community Shield, or the poor souls at Saturday’s football quarter-finals in Croke Park.

Soccer and football may be their games but when I pictured the fare on show at those matches, and the glorious drama unfolding before me and everyone else in Dublin yesterday, I wondered if all those supporters really knew what epic drama and sporting brilliance is really all about.
