RIP Tony. A true legend of the game. Warrior. Sad sad day for Galway and hurling will be a lot poorer for him not being around.

RIP , cemented as a great of the game and a hero I'm sure in Galway hurling circles.
He'll strike every ball with the hurlers in the final.

RIP Tony Keady. All time great. Thoughts and prayers with your family and friends.

Tony's early departure reminds me of a line from a poem written after Christy Ring died 'ba mhór an peaca é
an fear san a adhlacadh'.
