All-Ireland win ‘inches away’ for Galway, says Anthony Cunningham

In the end, the gap was four points.

It may well have been 14 such was Kilkenny’s dominance in that second-half and yet Anthony Cunningham saw it differently. It is 27 years since their last All-Ireland, but the Galway manager insists this bunch of players remains “inches” from bridging that gap.

They were certainly more than halfway across at the interval yesterday.
