Watching brief left Colm Galvin gunning for action

Truth be told, that didnât apply to Colm Galvin last year. This very date 12 months ago, he was heading over to Boston to play with the Tipperary club after lining out for Clare throughout the league. Two months later and he was back in time to play a bit-part role in the qualifier win over Offaly but had missed out on the crucial Munster semi-final defeat to Limerick.
Pangs of regret hit him as he watched that game in a friendâs house in Boston that May 24 morning. Not that he felt as if he had let his team-mates down. âMe leaving was making room for another fella to step up. Nowadays itâs not a 15-man panel, itâs a 31 or 32-man panel and itâs up to another lad to grab that position and make it his own.â
