I would be very careful what you Hope/wish for. Im sure Every Dub watching "The little Assassin" tearing up the pitch and receiving the ball before drilling it into the net brought back some painful Memories yeaterday.
Youse are not looking all that comfortable in defence it has to be said.
I was more alluding to the Donegal reserves of fitness Gary than to their age profile. Have to say I thought Colm McFadden was a busted flush the last 2 years, but he's looking more like his old self this year. Galway will need to do a lot of extra ground work to give their players a fair chance in these games, but I don't agree with those who say they haven't improved. Their defence in particular has toughened up a lot. Connacht should be a different province next year.

I agree that Galway have definitely Improved from last year, and with Roscommon likely to Improve while playing in Division 1 next season, I think Connacht will certainly be even more competitive next year.
Yeah I was wondering, I have seen quite a lot of people mentioning a lot of miles on the clock. But the likes of Mark McHugh, Declan Walsh and Leo McLoone have had time out, and Donegal do have the likes of Patrick McBrearty, Odhran MacNiallais, Ryan McHugh, Marty O'Reilly, Hugh McFadden, Darrach O'Connor etc all aged 21/22 and under starting or playing regularly, and then spillane is talking as if they have an average team age of 32.
