Seamus wants consistency

FOUR weeks on, John O’Mahony’s comments prior to Galway’s concluding game in the preliminary series of the Allianz Football League, have a special resonance. “We’ll kick a few balls in anger and see what happens,” he said.

In their sixth-round game, Galway had been hammered by Wexford in Pearse Stadium, on a stunning 5-12 to 1-7 scoreline. Now they were facing up to an away tie with Cavan, trying their best to be positive.

It was clear they had no more than an outside chance of advancing, with Limerick as good as through, and Armagh, Wexford, Sligo, Laois and Meath all in contention. O'Mahony as good as accepted that they wouldn't be involved.
