After the bitter frustration and disappointment of last year’s defeat in the All Ireland final to Kilkenny, Mattie Murphy and his minor charges head up the road again to Croke Park hoping to collect the 2009 title and gain some measure of revenge for that sickening loss.

Well done to Mattie Murphy for the invaluable commitment and service he has given to Galway hurling for the past few decades.
