Proud Cunningham expecting Tribesmen to ‘kick on’ in final replay

Galway boss Anthony Cunningham was in bullish form following yesterday’s All-Ireland senior hurling final, insisting his players will “kick on” and improve considerably for the replay with Kilkenny on September 30.

Cunningham was naturally pleased to have a second bite of the cherry as Joe Canning’s free in the third minute of stoppage time salvaged a draw for the Tribesmen.

And Cunningham, a member of Galway’s last All-Ireland winning senior team in 1988, insisted that there’s no substitute for experience.
