Victory dedicated to late John Joyce

ALAN MULHOLLAND won a minor medal with Galway in 1986 and yesterday he was back in Croke Park, this time to savour success as a coach to a Galway team that bridged a 21-year gap.

Captain of that team was the late John Joyce and Mulholland graciously dedicated victory to him.

“This year is the 10th anniversary of his death, and he clearly was looking down on us today,” said Mulholland.
