This year is different. Shane Walsh can do things that he couldn’t do last season. He is moving freely, he is training fully, he is kicking off the ground. Galway are grateful for all of it.

On Sunday, Walsh landed his 15th two-pointer of 2025 with a last-gasp free from outside the arc to rescue a draw against Tyrone. The 31-year-old stopped taking frees off the ground last year after suffering a serious injury in their opening league game. It haunted his season.
