Niall Burke maturity earns reward

Niall Burke was disappointed. No point saying otherwise.

When Micheál Donoghue announced the Galway team last Friday evening, Johnny Glynn was named at left half-forward. The 6’4” man-mountain from Ardrahan was in, Burke was out.

To those outside of the camp, the news didn’t come as any real surprise given Burke’s poor showing against Tipperary and subsequent second-half withdrawal. Of course, we’re not privy to how well either motored between the first Sunday in August and the first week of September.
