Galway star Jack Glynn says he’s relishing this season with the Tribesmen as they look to go one better than last year and claim the Sam Maguire Cup.

Glynn enjoyed a superb breakthrough season in 2022 which saw him winning Connacht SFC honours, as well as helping his county to its first All-Ireland SFC final appearance in 21 years.

Speaking to RTE Sport at the launch of the Electric Ireland HEC & Camogie Third Level competitions, the All-Ireland U20 winning captain said he’s looking forward to working under Padraic Joyce again this season and also playing alongside the returning Ian Burke.

"It's special to share a dressing room and get tips from a man who has won All-Irelands, also to have the likes of John Divilly and Cian O'Neill involved. There is a bankful of experience there; you take in everything they say. You're learning from the best. We've been back training since November and Pádraic is keeping a close eye on things," he stated.

“The new (championship) format will be very exciting, but also tough with all the games coming thick and fast. It's going to be an experience alright. You will need a strong bench, we're working on getting a strong squad together.

“Ian Burke is back. He's a very intelligent player, he has great experience. As a defender it's very insightful to see the way he plays the game. He's a great addition to the squad for the younger lads.”
