Galway set for stern test in the orchard county
By Cian O'Connell
A defining Sunday afternoon beckons for the Galway footballers at the Athletic Grounds in Armagh.
The All-Ireland SFC Round 2B qualifier tussle with Armagh will either launch or end Galway’s summer. It is knockout fare from here on in so the stakes are piled seriously high for Kevin Walsh’s charges, who are keen to clear this awkward assignment up north.
Physical, gutsy, and competitive when losing in the Connacht Senior Football Championship to five in-a-row chasing Mayo, the Tribesmen must be similarly industrious against Armagh. Kieran McGeeney’s side suffered themselves in Ulster — comprehensively beaten by a pumped up Donegal, but since then a win over Wicklow has helped as they seek to cleanse that loss from the system.
