Galvin all out to win elusive Sigerson medal

PAUL GALVIN has welcomed the opportunity provided by his recent enrolment in Dublin IT to win a Sigerson Cup medal he missed out on with UCC in the 2002 final.

The 31-year-old, who reckons he is “two or three weeks off probably playing a game” and will miss Kerry’s NFL Division One opener against Cork on Sunday week, begins a post-graduate diploma course in fashion buying and management on Monday. He will shortly team up with the likes of Mayo’s Aidan O’Shea, Tom Cunniffe and Alan Freeman as well as Dublin’s Diarmuid Connolly as DIT aim to win their first Sigerson title.

Galvin revealed he is looking forward to making amends after losing out to Sligo IT in the 02 final when the Cork university lost 0-6 to 0-5.
