8.35 draw time?

Galway have played well in every clutch game in nearly two years. They’ll play just fine. Whether that will be enough, time will tell. This Galway team will not flinch.

That was a tremendous draw segment on Morning Ireland which really showcased the truly amateur ethos of the GAA.

Only one ball was drawn out of each bowl and a fair amount of audible unwrapping of each paper slip with each team name had to be done. Once Cork v Waterford was drawn, it was a case of “ah, shure, look it, there’sh no point drawing the second tie out of the bowls.”

For all anybody knew, the other balls could also have contained the names of Cork and Waterford.

Then David Treacy was brought in for “analysis” and tried ever so hard to not offend anybody by praising all the teams. David clearly hates Waterford’s system but wouldn’t say so. “People moight criticise their stoyle, but it’s a good fit for them, and it produced two classics, last year, so who’s to say it’s not a good stoyle.”

It was an awkward moment for David when Darren Frehill asked him about Ger Cunningham. “I want to go on record to thank him for ll he’s done.” Then he awkwardly and self-consciously fumbled around in a Ciaran Kilkenny-esque manner to try and find some more words to not criticise Cunningham, pausing regularly to breathe in deeply in the process, before repeating his earlier quoted phrase.

“Thanks Diarmuid”, said Frehill, when Treacy had finally used up his alotted time.

You forget Kilkenny won’t be in this year. There will be a shortage this year.
