Shane Walsh is confident that there is much more to come from the Galway footballers this summer.

The Tribesmen captured the Connacht SFC on Sunday, in the process becoming the first team to qualify for the inaugural Super 8s. Overly-defensive in the first half at Dr Hyde Park, they came out of their shells after the restart to ease to victory.

Walsh led the way, slotting eight points, and he reckons the Connacht champions are ready to kick on:

"I believe so. It's a young group so there's definitely so much more I think in this group," the Kilkerrin-Clonberne told The Irish Sun. "Even against Roscommon we had the likes of Danny [Cummins] that wasn't even togging and lads that are flying in training.

"Kevin and the lads have the worst job in the world in trying to pick 26 players to tog for Galway. It's a great place to have it. I really do think that if lads keep driving it, we can bring it to another level.

"We didn't ask questions of them in the first half. They were probably sauntering around the place and it didn't look good for us at half-time. Look, it's a sign of the team. The average age is about 24 or 25. We kept going and kept going. That's what the team is all about."
