Inside Track with John McIntyre

IT’S not the way either the Galway hurlers or footballers would have wished to conclude their National League programmes. Between them, they failed to register a single point from the final two rounds of the competition, leaving both teams on the back foot heading into the championship.

Up to a few weeks ago, the Galway footballers were bombing along. Unbeaten after five matches and with team manager Padraic Joyce proclaiming his desire to end the county’s 45-year league title famine, the least we expected was that the Tribesmen would end up in the final.

Maybe, we should have read more into Galway’s somewhat fortunate draw against Tyrone at Tuam Stadium........
