Time for Tribes to get back amongst the elite

GALWAY captain Kieran Fitzgerald believes the Tribesmen have regained their place amongst the top teams in the land.

All-Ireland champions in 1998 and 2001, the Connacht side have gone through something of a barren spell as the corner stones of those championship winning sides entered retirement or drifted from the panel.

But now Fitzgerald feels that the rebuilding process is reaching a conclusion and it is time for them to start delivering.
