Former Galway defender Greg Kennedy says he can’t stand the fist-pumping done by the current crop of players.

Greg Kennedy just hates Galway’s fist-pump dramatics

In the wake of criticism from pundits Anthony Daly and Michael Duignan following Sunday’s Leinster final defeat to Kilkenny, the Loughrea man in the main defended them.

However, he was aghast at some of their behaviour when winning frees and scoring points. “This fist-pumping after scoring or winning a free, it drives me bananas. The only time you should be encouraging yourself or celebrating like that is when you’ve the game won or when you win a ball, clear it and shout over to the next fella ‘we have to keep doing more of that’. There’s no need for the dramatics. It doesn’t look right and it’s not something you see Kilkenny doing often. Win your own ball, find a team-mate, move on. Find the posts, anticipate the puck-out, move on.”
