Replying To IsThisOurYear:  "Have a few colleagues at work whispering this already. Its good to see their football back on track though. Connaught football on the rise again. The game in may should be a cracker."
The game in May you're probably talking about ITOY, is in June. We do have a game in May against Sligo or NY, and it could be a cracker, who knows? But if we do get to Salthill, I'd be expecting Mayo to be undercooked like last year and Galway to be less focused than last year. Both sides will be looking to make it to August with rising form whether via the front door or the back one. The Rossies will likely be the ones hungriest for a Connacht title this year.

Replying To Pinkie:  "Question for Galway fans. Would you swap that league title on Sunday for a place in division 1A next year?

I know people say the last 3 league champs have came from 1B, but the vast majority of AI champs still come from 1A. Did Clare win it from 1B?"
i don't think Galway fans give a toss about either to be honest! No one was celebrating the league title on Sunday where I am from. They were getting a bit excited about the performance and the prospects of championship success, i'll grant u that! But personally speaking I couldn't care less about the League other than as building for championship.

I, like most Galway posters, am a bit embarrassed by this thread!

While we have every right to be called one of the favs in the hurling we have a lot to prove in the big ball. Bags of potential but after over 15 years of underachievement in spite of 4 U-21 titles I think we should keep our council!

On their day the footballers can take out a big gun but I would doubt they could do it 3 or 4 times in a row (we could also lose to a D3 team!)

Are you not aware that the Meath Men are shoe in for the double this year. Great performance by their hurlers so far this year.
