Strong winds, driving rain, and a very wet surface greeted the Galway hurlers as they gathered for training on a dark evening at Loughgeorge but if these are the grim realities of winter hurling, it wasn’t knocking the enthusiasm out of manager Shane O’Neill, as he prepares for his first championship campaign in charge.

The Limerick native undoubtedly had many other scenarios in mind when he took charge of the Tribesmen last winter but amidst all the uncertainty he is just relieved that the green light has been given to proceed with the championship.
