Replying To PoolSturgeon: "Maybe they will bring it out next year.I think the 1923 final was actually played in 1924!" Sure why not wait until 1925 altogether and bring the same jersey out for the footballers and hurlers to commemorate their respective inaugural AI wins, and save the fans money by not having to fork out for two different jerseys? Two different jerseys for the same county in GAA makes no sense. foreveryoung (USA) - Posts: 1909 - 15/01/2023 19:59:18 2452604 Link

What about the hurling fans who wouldnt be seen dead wearing a gaelic football jersey? clare_sparrow (Galway) - Posts: 425 - 17/01/2023 12:32:24 2452838 Link

you cannot have the same jersey as the teams wore different colours in those times. The maroon didn't come in until the mid 30s SixtiesKid (Galway) - Posts: 304 - 20/01/2023 15:18:08 2453234 Link
Be interesting to see what team Shefflin puts out through to the Walsh Cup final so will be very experimental. Maroonforever (Galway) - Posts: 414 - 20/01/2023 15:58:10 2453246 Link
He might be small but you can't teach class. Liam Collins 0-06 from play on his senior debut yesterday. Didn't miss a shot and strikes well off both sides. Hopefully he gets a few games in the league. galway19 (Galway) - Posts: 674 - 22/01/2023 10:26:06 2453369 Link
Good win for Galway over Antrim. Nice to see new blood getting a chance. The deeper the Galway Hurling team is the better their chances against physical teams with deep benches like Limerick. The Wexford hurlers will be a great test for Galway, nothing easy there. Trump2020 (Galway) - Posts: 2119 - 23/01/2023 15:11:00 2453686 Link

We play them 2 weeks in a row now I think, in Walsh Cup and League. The league game is the most interesting from a Galway perspective because it's taking place in Wexford Park. Away games tend to be that bit tougher and therefore more revealing. Probably 2 completely different teams fielded by both sides in each game I'd say!

I'd also imagine Egan and Shefflin will be keeping a good few cards up their sleeves til Salthill. Even so it should be a great test for some of the newer lads on both panels, especially the game in Wexford Park. Apparently every hotel room is booked in Wexford Town the night of the 4th. Must be a good shot of ye coming down! Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 11831 - 23/01/2023 15:41:11 2453701 Link

Wexford County Board contacted Leinster Council with regard to the league game possibly doubling up as the Walsh Cup final. TerribleFootwork (Wexford) - Posts: 1716 - 23/01/2023 15:50:32 2453707 Link
Replying To TerribleFootwork: "Wexford County Board contacted Leinster Council with regard to the league game possibly doubling up as the Walsh Cup final." No thanks....no harm playing ye twice in 6days! Unless ye surrender league home advantage and get the two birds with the one stone in Tullamore? katser (Galway) - Posts: 2193 - 23/01/2023 17:20:53 2453754 Link

great show on joe last night. What a great hurler he was. and what a year 2017 was. clare_sparrow (Galway) - Posts: 425 - 27/01/2023 09:29:47 2454488 Link
Yes he was a great hurler but also a great family man and his love of his late mother was very moving. tommy k (Galway) - Posts: 3320 - 27/01/2023 10:22:01 2454499 Link
Joe's father is also a great character and Ollie looked like he could still be hurling for Galway! tommy k (Galway) - Posts: 3320 - 27/01/2023 10:23:53 2454500 Link

I saw it and it's very good....its hard to believe that Oillie wore a 6yr olds helmet in the '94 All Ireland Minor Final!! Joe was 6 and gave aloan of his helmet to Ollie!! katser (Galway) - Posts: 2193 - 28/01/2023 13:56:14 2454723 Link
