‘I like the balance of Damien and Rob inside’ – Should Galway start Shane Walsh?

Speaking on the Irish Examiner’s Gaelic football podcast, former Galway player Gary Sice put forward his case to continue to deploy 2022 All-Star Shane Walsh from the bench.

A Man of the Match performance from Damien Comer on Sunday drove Galway to their third Connacht title in a row. As a result, they will welcome Derry to Salthill in two weeks’ time.

What does the win mean for their starting team? Shane Walsh was withdrawn before the throw-in against Mayo and came on just before half-time. He scored two points from play, as did Comer. Robert Finnerty kicked 0-8 including five frees.
