Replying To Emmets67: "A very valid point there. Will be interesting to see how the senior team shapes up now the North Board High King has been dethroned." Obviously there are good players from all parts Galway and the bigger population is with 10-15 miles of city ,, but on most if not all Galway 9 senior all Ireland's the north board would have definitely I'd say produce the most forwards , even last : 2 one 98 and 01 u had Donnellan , Fallon savage Padraig and Tommy Joyce Joe Bergen shay Walsh ,, not sure whst it is but most successful all Ireland winning senior teams have north Galway forwards ,

Yes there were excellent forwards on the 98 and 01 teams but they were well supplied and supported from midfield and the backs. Seán Óg scored the insurance point against Kildare and I doubt if Galway would have won without those great players at the back and Kevin Walsh at midfield. One of the best team scores in Croke Park, 2000, was the one scored by Declan Meehan - a wonder pass from his friend, the late Paul Clancy. They had that All Ireland won against Kerry if a certain forward had passed the ball to PJ who was in a better position. Kevin Walsh wasn't fit for the replay.
