Time to get behind Galway, urges Moore

Former Galway captain, Cathal Moore, has called for unity amongst the county’s hurling people, saying that expectation needs to be toned down to a more realistic level.

Ahead of Saturday’s Allianz Hurling League Division 1A relegation play-off replay against Dublin the Turloughmore man added, Galway should not “be washing its dirty linen in public”. This refers to recent scathing analysis by two-time All-Ireland winning captain and ex-manager, Conor Hayes on the progress made by his former team-mate Anthony Cunningham as manager.

Moore, whose brother Fergal is the current Galway skipper, argues there is plenty to be positive about, not least the emergence of a fresh, hungry and re-energised Joe Canning.
