Time for Galway to take a gamble

Five minutes before the end of the Connacht final, Rory Gallagher had left his seat along with the McHugh boys. He had seen enough.

I shouted to Rory “have you enough info?” He smiled and bolted on, trying to get a head start on the traffic home. He was wasting his time though, as the Galway fans had been streaming out before him. I’ve no doubt, he was stuck in traffic for ages and that he used his time constructively, hatching a plan to be dusted down if handed Galway in the All-Ireland Qualifiers.

The following morning, the pairing became a reality and tonight Rory will get a chance to watch his players execute that plan formulated on the long drive home.
