Replying To ColmFlaherty:  "Good to see Fintan Burke back from his injury, does make me wonder about Kevin Cooney. Anyone know the story about him, is he still in the panel?"
I would have thought anyone who is remotely in touch with the Galway hurling scene would know that he's not. This has been known since the start of the year and probably as far back as last Autumn.

I think Galway could win 10-15 points tomorrow. Their forwards are built for Croker Park. LEinster final will be their All Ireland.

Have 50 double on Limerick and Galway

Replying To Marooned:  "Think he made himself unavailable this year. Could be back next year."
Cheers, he always a good forward for winning his own ball.

It was just a question, not an unreasonable one either considering he was slightly injury prone, then to factor the new lads in the panel.

Would be good to add Kevin Cooney and Liam Collins to the forward options next year. One disturbing consideration today is contemplating how we'll replace Daithi, Cathal and Whelan before this 'transition' is likely completed in the coming seasons. Three huge performances from those 'old boys' today.
