Farragher happy as team-mates rediscover their fighting spirit

FOR a couple of years Ger Farragher has been hammering away at his new house, a massive project he took on himself to fill all those spare hours between work and hurling training.

On Saturday he finally moved in and one of the first items that arrived with him was the RTÉ man-of-the-match award for his 1-4 in Galway’s All-Ireland SHC qualifier demolition of Clare in Pearse Stadium.

For Farragher and his Galway teammates, the win was a form of redemption for their own disappointing loss against Dublin in the Leinster championship, a game he missed through injury.
