“We’ve been really solid defensively all year and it’s something we’ve really kind of set our targets on and it’s something very positive and something we can build on in the championship,” says Kelly, who more than anybody has been central to Galway’s defensive solidity,
Kelly has been excellent throughout the league campaign and it was a fine achievement by the Galway captain to hold David Clifford scoreless from play during Sunday’s game at Pearse Stadium. “It’s been a real team effort to stop a player like that, there were maybe a couple of soft frees we can work on but it was a great team effort and something we’ve been trying to do all year and we’ve kind of succeeded, so hopefully we can keep it going.”“Pádraic [Joyce] said it from the start, it’s been 40 years now or something, so that’s a long time for a county like Galway,” adds Kelly.
“Hopefully they will come and support us in the final and we can get over the line and get some silverware.
