Moore believes Galway can bounce back from Dublin defeat

Thu, Jul 25, 2013

Galway senior hurling captain, Fergal Moore, is looking forward to Sunday's clash with Clare, and he believes that the Galway panel will have learnt a lot from their heavy defeat to Dublin in the Leinster final.

"We went up to Dublin three weeks ago with our Leinster title on the line and came home without it, which was hugely disappointing.

Cunningham is already looking forward

Thu, Jul 11, 2013

Galway manager Anthony Cunningham knows his side was well beaten in Sunday’s Leinster final, but in defeat a management team and players sometimes learn more than in victory.

Certainly that is what the hurling supporters in the county will be hoping. With Tipperary gone, and Kilkenny not the team it was, there is still a streak of optimism. If Galway can get their house in order, they might be there or thereabouts. Maybe they were not as focussed as they should have been facing Dublin, and if they can get over the quarter-final fence on July 28, who knows how the dice would roll then.
