Galway gained nothing from Limerick stroll, says John McIntyre

Limerick’s poor display in last weekend’s Allianz HL semi-final did nothing to prepare Galway for Sunday’s decider against All-Ireland champions Tipperary, according to former Tribes boss and Tipp hurler John McIntyre.

While McIntyre warned that Micheál Donoghue’s charges should read nothing into last Sunday’s contest at the Gaelic Grounds, he is confident management won’t allow complacency to creep into the camp off the back of their 1-21 to 1-11 win.

“The Galway team hardly need any reminding that what is coming down the tracks at the same venue on Sunday will be the difference between a Japanese bullet train and an old steam engine,” he wrote in the Connacht Tribune.
