Cork can wait as Galway savour the moment

THEY obviously knew something the rest of us didn’t in Galway last week.

For the Tipperary game, the county board was able to offload less than 3,000 tickets. For yesterday’s they moved around 11,000. Even accounting for the shot in the arm that was their quarter-final win, it was a massive leap of faith from a band of supporters that has voted with their feet by staying away more often than not this past few years.

Now, the scramble for All-Ireland final tickets will resemble the ‘49 Californian gold rush after yesterday’s rollicking afternoon that threw up more plot twists than the most outrageous of Hollywood story lines.
