Nolan plays key role in Galway’s Cup win

IN his earlier incarnation, Tom Nolan knew about the intensity of playing top level inter-county hurling at senior, U21 and minor levels.

But after taking the key role in Galway’s first victory in the Bulmers Irish Senior Cup at Enniscrone on Saturday, he was certain about one thing.

“Hurling is easier,” he sighed. “In hurling you have your teammates around you. But there is no game that isolates you like golf.”
