King Henry of Galway (Part 1) 👑

[Jahan]

Four years later and still seething.

[flattythehurdler]

No, we just weren’t talking about you mate. I know it hurts, but if you head back to insta somebody will like one of your posts soon enough.

[Jahan]

That’s beautiful.

[Ambrose_McNulty]

It was actually ten up at half time. Against Kilkenny and Clare later in the year we also blew 10 point leads. There’s simply nathin like us.

Waterford under MacIntyre

[Diabhal]

The Scalion aters nearly bet us twice

Waterford under MacIntyre

Driving home from Thurles after those games was like something Radiohead could put a soundtrack to.

[flattythehurdler]

It was as bad as anything. The day mullane brought diving over the defender’s arm to an artform.

Ye must be awful dawny over in Galway that ye can never get a free out of a referee.

[flattythehurdler]

We must.

Lonergan from Claregalway there is a fine footballer and on the minor hurling panel as well, think there may be another lad in the same position. Its interesting because I was talking to a fella recently from Galway who was seething that a player in his club hasn’t been allowed to play any u19 club football games this year because he is in with the minor footballers - minor football management have stopped all lads lining out with their own clubs. It’s a scandal that type of carry-on is allowed.

[balbec]

When ye have double digit AI titles come back and talk to us.

I can’t say that Claregalway ever stood out to me as a GAA hotbed before but they have 4 on that team. Is it a de facto suburb of the city now?

[flattythehurdler]

Yes. There’s barely any green space now, just an urban sprawl out from town.

[Iggy]

Pretty much. Growing population there and a brand spanking new modern school with a fair few intercounty players on the staff. They’ve been hoovering up underage football titles in recent years. Hasn’t transferred yet to senior success for the club but still early days.

[Raylan]

Fine set-up just over the road from the Turlockeens too

Galway can get drawn into a match with anybody. We’d need be running up a tally though after the Wexford match.

Cheddar gave Galway a couple of very close frights in his previous stint with Laois didn’t he? I used to think you could nearly gauge how Galway were going based on whether or not they’d put the so called weaker counties away easily. The warning signs were there early in 2013 and 14’.

[Diabhal]

In 2013 Cheddar had us on the ropes till we got a late goal via Aonghus Callanan with about 5 minutes to go. The wheels fell off completely then against Daly’s Dubs not long after.

Laois had a 21 yard free in the last minute to potentially win it hadn’t they?

[Keadyshouldhaveplayedin89]

They did. They should have beaten us that day. Hard to believe we managed an All Ireland four years later.
