Tom Flynn: 2015 lessons give Galway edge at Croke Park

Galway midfielder Tom Flynn believes his side are in a better place to win at Croke Park against Tipperary tomorrow because of the failings of 2015.

The 24-year-old Athenry clubman scored a point as Galway crashed out with a 3-12 to 0-11 defeat to Donegal in their Round 4 qualifier at headquarters last year.

But Flynn, who made his championship debut against Meath in 2011, has been inspiring at the heart of Galway’s drive to a first Connacht title since 2008, and insists the team has learned from last year’s mistakes.
