O’Mahony hopes success will breed success

JOHN O’MAHONY could be forgiven for gloating, except that it would be totally alien to his nature!

But, as a medal-winner himself with his native Mayo back in 1974 and a winning manager with them when the All-Ireland Under-21 title last went to Connacht in 1983, he could take great pride in Galway winning a second title after a 30-year lapse in O'Moore Park yesterday.

One throw-away comment from him summed up the game."We pretty held sway in most areas of the field as it turned out. I'm delighted for this bunch of players that they have got success,'' he said.
