Paul Clancy’s code for cracking defensive Derry

Former Galway star Paul Clancy knows a fair bit about beating Derry sides in championship action having been involved in both Galway’s 1998 and 2001 All-Ireland winning sides that defeated the Ulster men in All-Ireland semi-finals.

More recently Clancy has been heavily involved in team management, acting as a Galway selector with Alan Mulholland last year while he also had a stint alongside Justin McNulty in Laois.

Watching from the outside in, Clancy has been impressed by Galway’s development under his former team-mate, Kevin Walsh.
