Conroy happy with ‘fighting chance’

Galway captain Paul Conroy says they are pleased they have fate in their own hands as they head to Monaghan tomorrow in a bid to avoid the drop to Division Three.

Galway looked doomed when they lost their opening three matches to Meath, Donegal and Laois, but they rebounded and wins over Down and Armagh, along with a draw away to Louth, has given them more than a fighting chance. They know that a win in Clones tomorrow will guarantee their Division Two status after they saw off Armagh last weekend.

“We needed a big one that and thankfully we got it. I suppose the next thing for us now is to try and put performances like that back to back. We are good enough, we just need to bring that out in ourselves and deliver,” said the St James’ clubman.
