Micheál Donoghue resists the urge to gloat

Micheál Donoghue was careful to steer clear of claiming Galway yesterday answered their Leinster final critics.

Several pundits, from Ger Loughnane to Michael Duignan, were scathing in their analysis of Galway’s second half collapse against Kilkenny, their second in the championship in 10 months.

However, he did claim the Tribesmen pick up “the lion’s share” of criticism from the media.
