The agony and the ecstasy — Dramatic finale as Tribeswomen deliver on biggest stage

Thu, Aug 06, 2026

Twenty-two years is a long time to carry expectation, disappointment and memory. Long enough for children who watched Galway lift the Brendan Martin Cup in 2004 to return to Croke Park on Sunday with children of their own. Long enough for dreams to harden into burdens, for near misses to become scars, for every promising generation to be measured against the one that had gone before.
