Michael Ryan's Croker reunion with Micheál Donoghue

This time last year, the Michaels stood shoulder to shoulder. This week, they’re squaring up.

As Eamon O’Shea’s ‘eye in the sky’, it was part of current Galway manager Micheál Donoghue’s brief to give the lowdown on his native county.

Information was shared with then Tipp selector and O’Shea’s successor, Michael Ryan.
