Nicola Ward is young, at 27, for someone with so much experience – a decade in the county jersey – and is well versed in the ups and downs of representing Galway. If there is a theme to her collective self-analysis, it is inconsistency and the team’s difficulty in following one great performance with another.
“It was a very hard battle and not just over 60 minutes. It went to 80 after extra time and that takes its toll on the body. We did though back up our performance against Cork. As I said, we can be inconsistent and go out and beat the world one day and then fall short the next.” It was a second final defeat for several of the team, including Ward, who played in the narrow 2019 final defeat by Dublin in monsoon conditions. Both matches featured a goal just before half-time that in each case was fatal to Galway’s prospects.
