Nine Galway teams remain in contention for All-Ireland titles

It’s been a great year so far for Galway GAA.
The Tribes are in the hunt for major trophies on all fronts - football, hurling, ladies football and camogie. In fact, there are nine Galway teams who remain in contention to win All-Ireland titles in 2018.
Kevin Walsh’s senior footballers have booked their place in the All-Ireland semi-finals with a game to spare in the Super 8s. The minor footballers are also in the last four while the juniors were narrowly beaten by holders Kerry in the All-Ireland final last month.
This season could potentially be an incredible one for Galway hurling. The Tribesmen have a massive opportunity of making it a clean sweep of All-Ireland honours with their senior, U21 and minor sides all now at the latter stages.
In ladies football, Stephen Glennon’s seniors are through to the All-Ireland quarter-finals where they will face Mayo who they already beat in the Connacht decider. The All-Ireland minor A and U16 A titles were annexed last month.
Finally, in camogie, the Tribeswomen have a chance of winning three All-Ireland titles. Their senior, intermediate and U16 A teams have all reached the business end of their respective championships.
Here are the nine Galway teams still contending for All-Ireland glory and their current stage in the championship:

Far too much going on there, the County Board are in enough strife without having to fund all those teams. We’ll have to throw some of them.

They’d want to improve. Clare left that behind them.
