There is an almost haunting silence in Galway hurling circles ahead of this game.
Recent challenges against Clare and Limerick have taken its toll on the team. David Burke, Daithi Burke & Niall Burke are all out with Canning and Hanbury nursing knocks.

Expectations are low.
Galway by 4.[/QUOTE]
Suppose it makes a change from knocking nurses.

Couldnât care less about it myself mate.
Just looking forward to a few pints with your good self.
I canât see @Ebeneezer Goode getting to the ground until 4.10 at the earliest
I recall BRECSC forfeiting their place in the knockout rounds of a Dunshaughlin Celtic Supporters Clubs football blitz tournament because @The Selfish Giant couldnât be persuaded to miss a few minutes of an early round Leinster championship match.
[I]Michael Duignan tells the story of his Offaly debut in the All-Ireland semi-final against Galway, in 1986. Duignan was only 18 years old and was slated to mark Brendan Lynskey, a fabled hard man.
After the anthem, young Michael walked nervously over to the grizzled veteran and stretched out his hand. Lynskey glared at him curiously and said, âA mhaicĂn, what are you doing here? The minor match is overâ. A few seconds later, the ball was thrown in, at which Lynskey drove his elbow into the teenagerâs nose, before taking off down the field to receive the ball, leaving Duignan standing in a daze.
As the Offaly man put it, it was âWelcome to the big time, baby.â[/I]
your focus should be on returning to ball and to be able to drink for my 40th in July[/QUOTE]
@Gman[/USER], [USER=110]@Fran[/USER] and myself are all set for the party mate. We might need to bring [USER=179]@artfoley[/USER] along so we have a driver. Does [USER=230]@croppy mind keeping him occupied again?
Will you be taking any protective measures mate? Likely to be surrounded by a fair few muldoons and roasters from the nether regions of Connacht.[/QUOTE]
Unlikely mate. No-ones going
