Lee and Galway gun for U21 glory

Defender John Lee believes the bond of friendship and evident strength in depth in the current Galway team has his side ideally placed to step up their quest for All-Ireland Under-21 hurling championship glory this weekend.

Galway, who were last champions at the grade in 2005, meet Cork in an enticing All-Ireland U-21 semi-final in Thurles on Saturday and centre-back Lee feels the men from the west are in excellent physical and mental shape for the clash.
