Paul Conroy says Galway keen to secure a league final spot via IrishTimesSport
Galway enter the final round of games with a scoring difference of +10, Kerry +4, Tyrone +1 and Roscommon +1. The cleanest outcome for Galway would be to avoid defeat on Sunday, but there is a school of thought that Pádraic Joyce’s men might not necessarily be overly enraptured about the prospect of meeting Mayo on the eve of the championship. But that is not a theory Conroy puts any stock in whatsoever.
“We are definitely in a position where we would like an extra game and it would be great to get a game early in Croke Park, if we are good enough.” “The first couple of games were probably a little bit up and down, the draw with Mayo the first day out and then we lost to Roscommon,” he recalls. “There was a break then and since we’ve come back it has been good in fairness. A little bit inconsistent early on but the last couple of games have been very positive.”
Overall, 2022 was a positive year for Galway – they won promotion from Division Two, claimed the Connacht SFC, and went all the way to a first All-Ireland final appearance since 2001. They came up short in that decider, but it was a season of progress for the Tribesmen – and one Conroy thoroughly enjoyed.
“Then the final itself, obviously very disappointed to have lost it but you’d like to think that you can learn from it, use the positives and try to get to the same level again and see where that brings you.”
