Galway can do it again, says Cusack

Cork hurling goalkeeper Donal Óg Cusack says this Galway team needs to remember it “has done it to Kilkenny once, they can do it again” as they prepare to face the Cats in Sunday’s All-Ireland hurling final.

In his column for gaa.ie, the Cork captain wrote: “All Galway have to remember on Sunday is two things. One: this Galway team has done it to Kilkenny once, they can do it again. Two: what happened to other Galway teams over the years has nothing to do with them. If the Galway of a few years ago hadn’t got two big performances in them, that’s not a genetic defect. It’s history.”

Cusack also pointed out that Kilkenny’s “aura” has been built on perceptions of the team.
