Tipperary trainer / selector Michael O'Loughlin was impress by Galway's Connacht final display.

The Premier County do battle with the Tribesmen this weekend for a place in the All-Ireland series and O'Loughlin points out that Alan Mulholland's charges didn't disgrace themselves when losing to Mayo:

"The Galway forwards are very pacey and very young and that's a concern for us," he notes in The Tipperary Star.

"They dominated for a period in the second half and scored three in a row at the start of the second half and could have had two goals.

"Players like Michael Lundy, Danny Cummins, Shane Walsh, Paul Conroy are class and can be very dangerous.

"The confidence of Galway will be hugely increased by the performance. They are much improved from last year and they will have absolutely no fear of Tipperary." Tweet
