Can Galway do the double

(Oldest Posts First) - Go To The Latest Post


Came pretty close to it in 2001 alright. Won the football and narrowly lost the hurling final. Hurlers have a good chance this year alright. The footballers are an improving side but it would be pretty difficult to see them potentially having to beat Kerry, Mayo and Dublin to win an All-Ireland. Especially Kerry and Dublin.

Everything would want to fall perfectly in place.. I'd imagine you'd get better odds at this minute than Connacht winning the Pro 12 at the start of 2015/2016.

No, although they are arguably the top dual county now.

Slip a score on it and you could pick up the best part of 1500

4 pints of Guinness would be a better investment.

The Hurlers have a great chance to win it. I can't see their footballers doing it mainly because they have not won a championship match in Croke Park since 2001 and they have not beaten Kerry in the championship since 1965. I suppose stranger things has happened before.

Won't happen, footballers arent near ready yet. Still though, you'd take Galways GAA lot easily over anyone elses as a fan at the moment. Top contender in one, average to good in another and contending at most underage grades in both.

It is laughable to see Galway been talked as a all ireland contender in football when the were lucky to get away with a 9 point beating less then 3 weeks ago.

Galway have won more than 13 all ireland underage titles since 00 and similar number of club all irelands in both codes so we are head and shoulders the best duel county not to mention all the national hurling leagues weve won

Ya haven't won a senior hurling title in nearly 30 years and that's what dual counties are judged on.
