Kernan: Galway must recall past pain

GALWAY manager Joe Kernan has told his players to remember the pain of their Connacht final defeat to Sligo in 2007 ahead of the latest meeting between the counties on Sunday.

Almost three years have passed since a side managed by Tommy Breheny upset all the odds to claim a first senior provincial title – and a first championship win against Galway – since 1975.

Eamon O’Hara’s classy 24th-minute goal was the highlight in a game which was by and large a tight affair but the scenes at Dr Hyde Park at the final whistle topped everything that preceded it.
