The 2017 All-Ireland-winning boss will have a difficult task in avoiding relegation to Division 1B this year.
MICHEÁL DONOGHUE’S WORDS both before and after last Sunday’s league opener against Tipperary, were telling.
“Our remit is to build a team and that’s what we’re going to do,” he said to RTÉ after the game which included four Galway debutants – Seán Murphy, Michael Garvey, Oisín Lohan and Rory Burke. The strong performances of Oisín Lohan and Seán Murphy offered flashes of hope for Galway. Lohan’s strong ball-carrying ability produced three points from half-forward, while Murphy stood firm at corner-back as the team continued to take on water.
The competition is still in its early stages but given that two teams in Division 1A will be relegated this year, Galway could be in line for the drop in 2025. Their fight against that outcome gets more difficult this weekend as they travel to face a Kilkenny side who fielded an experienced outfit in their league opener victory against defending champions Clare.
