Micheál Donoghue’s team in Leinster final, as Henry Shefflin ponders his future
came west and ended the season for their hosts, Galway. Showing a clever appreciation of the elements, in this case the familiar Salthill breeze and having just the game plan to exploit the sending off of David Burke, they surged to the front after half-time and ran out convincing winners.
“I don’t know, it could be the end of the road for a few of us. But what we said in the dressingroom was that we’d take a few days and don’t make a rash decision, and that’s the only logical thing.”His Dublin counterpart Micheál Donoghue, the last man to manage Galway to an All-Ireland, was characteristically low-key in emphasising the development of his young team, who last week lost to Kilkenny by a late goal.
Gavin Lee put Galway one up within seven seconds but it only took another half a minute for Brian Hayes to send Seán Currie in on goal. His shot was partly blocked by Darach Fahy but the Dublin forward followed up to make no mistake the second time. After the break, their emphasis shifted and free to have a go, they unleased points from everywhere. Crummey, Ronan Hayes, Purcell, Danny Sutcliffe and a couple of dead ball shots by Burke meant they had rattled off six without repay to jump into the lead.
