 In hindsight, says Gary Sice, Galway’s relegation from the League’s top flight last summer was a blessing draped in disguise.

The inability of the 2021 class to preserve the county’s Division 1 status formed the first half of a most forgetful season for the Galway footballers, their championship involvement subsequently crashing against the rocks of a Connacht final second-half where they were outscored 2-8 to 0-2 by Mayo.
