Galway captain says Bob will come out of hiding only if Liam turns up

Bob O’Keeffe is taking a break in the west this year and spending his summer in Galway.

However, don’t expect to see him out and about enjoying this very welcome spell of good weather. Poor auld Bob is in hiding at the moment and locked away in Anthony Cunningham’s wardrobe. In fact not since the day after he was presented to Galway senior hurling captain Fergal Moore on July 1, when the Tribesmen shocked Kilkenny and the hurling world, has this magnificent trophy been on display.

All very deliberate policy, Fergal explains.
