Tribesmen driven to bridge ‘big gap’ to Mayo

Galway 0-16 Sligo 0-11

Galway’s last provincial title was won against Mayo at MacHale Park in 2008 and in three weeks’ time Alan Mulholland will hope to lead the Tribesmen to their 45th crown in his first decider.

Certainly, there will be plenty of work for Galway’s team of psychologists in the intervening weeks as last year’s 17-point trimming is dissected again, but Mulholland says it remains a huge inspirational force for his team.
