Daly’s Dubs can stay the distance
Galway manager John McIntyre certainly seems to think so. After a stirring comeback against over Kilkenny on Sunday, overcoming a horrific opening four minutes during which they conceded 2-3 without reply, to win by four points, big Mac looked ahead to his team’s next challenge, against Dublin in Parnell Park on Sunday week.
His initial comments were very much tongue-in-cheek. “Dublin are the team of the league,” he announced; “They will be overwhelming favourites to beat Galway — I don’t know is there any point in even going up there, to be honest, but we’ll do our best.”
