O’Mahony says Galway must up the ante against Red Hands
O’Mahony, one of the most respected coaches in the game, agrees his team produced better play towards the latter end of the League, when they edged out Tyrone after a marvellous game in Pearse Stadium to qualify for the final against Kerry.
“In the provincial championship, you don’t have big gaps, it’s a more even playing field. Then you have local rivalries, the neighbourliness and the lack of neighbourliness and the tribalism. In our case, we lost a few players through injuries which would account for our form. We went into the Mayo game without the backbone of our team of recent years - Sean Óg de Paor, Kevin Walsh, Gary Fahey.
