Can Galway find savage hunger again?

When we won the All-Ireland with Clare in 1995, the league back then began in October, which wasn’t good for the head, and especially the body, writes Anthony Daly

Can Galway find savage hunger again?

Kerry took us down in our first game but that whole league campaign was an ordeal. At one stage, the Clare half-back line of myself, Seanie McMahon, and Liam Doyle looked more like the Munster front row.

It was a different time, a different era, but the days of living it up well until December with pies and pints, before turning into a monk from January on, are long over. Ger Loughnane used to let me off to Clonmel for the coursing festival for one night in February but most other excesses were curtailed once the new year arrived. Now though, fellas are living like monks the whole year around.
