O’Neill talks up Galway’s credentials

CORK defender Shane O’Neill says he and his team-mates have had an eye on Galway all year, citing the Tribesmen’s defeat of Clare in the All-Ireland senior hurling qualifiers as proof of their quality.

O’Neill and company face Galway in the qualifiers at Semple Stadium tomorrow night, and the Bishopstown clubman is quick to pay tribute to the western outfit.

“You’d always have them in mind because they’re such a good team, and most of us would have seen how good they were last Saturday night against Clare,’’ O’Neill said.
