When was that? We haven't been big favourites for a game in Croke Park for a long time. Favourites for this year's Leinster final obviously, not big favourites, but we won that comfortablly.
We might have been slight favourites against Kilkenny in the Leinster final in 2020. We threw that away, but it was a tight game. Favourites in 2018, went well behind but almost levelled it at the end. We certainly weren't favourites for any of our Croke Park games against Limerick after that.

Apparently over 25,000 Galway people going with Galweigins who live in Dublin could be over 30000 supporting the men in maroon and white....Cork will probably have 50000 supporters there.
All is calm before the storm, the vibe is quietly confident from chatting Galway people if Galway produce the goods Galway will win.
