Connolly goes for GOAL

GALWAY legend Joe Connolly has been busily spreading the gospel of hurling.

The former All-Ireland SHC winning captain last month traveled to the Kenyan capital of Nairobi and although he had only one sliothar and no hurley, he found a piece of wood to give a demonstration of some of the skills of our national game.

The local kids, whom Connolly went out to see on behalf of the GOAL aid agency, were more than keen to join in.
