Deflated Micheal Donoghue struggles for answers

Micheal Donoghue is only in the Galway job a matter of weeks but already he has twice experienced defeat to Dublin at Parnell Park.

Last month, after Galway’s loss to Dublin in the Walsh Cup semi-finals, the new manager pointed out that having only been installed days before Christmas, he and his management team were naturally playing catch up.

It was a little more difficult to explain away their latest insipid display and the former All-Ireland winning Clarinbridge boss simply shrugged when asked.
