Galway GAA hopeful Tuam Stadium can host U20 and minor championship matches after vandalism
in Croke Park this Saturday can propel Pádraic Joyce’s team into a second league final in three years. Along withThe weekend’s clash is resonant, as when the counties played last June in the All-Ireland quarter-finals, Galway recorded a first championship win over Dublin since 1934. It was also the first time in 15 years that Dublin had failed to reach the semi-finals.
“That’s the beauty of sport, you never know what’s going to happen and Galway were the better team on the day.” “I felt it’s been like that this year. I love playing in and, for us as a group, it’s something not to be sniffed at but we still have two games left and we just have to put in a couple of good performances.”
The venue had just recently been restored with the reconstruction of a stand, and hosted Galway’s drawn league match against Tyrone two weekends ago. The attendance was 7,000 and it is due to stage the county’s underage home championship fixtures in the coming weeks. The old stand in the ground was replaced last year and the intention is to use the stadium as a default venue for the county’s underage matches. There is further work planned.
